It’s always better to read the book before watching the movie! You’ve had 538 years since The Odyssey was first published in Florence, but now you have just over two months left to read the book before Christopher Nolan’s epic comes to the big screen.

For kids: I highly recommend The Children’s Homer by Padraic Colum

For teens & adults:

“easy to read, ideal for beginners”: Robert Fagles

“high fidelity to Homer’s language and structure”: Richard Lattimore

“beautiful poetic language, standard in schools”: Robert Fitzgerald

“modern and fast-paced”: Emily Wilson

Also: check out the graphic novel by Gareth Hinds!
