The Odyssey - audiobook
HOMER (c. 8th cen - c. 8th cen), translated by Samuel BUTLER (1613 - 1680)
The Odyssey is one of the two major ancient Greek epic poems (the other being the Iliad), attributed to the poet Homer. The poem is commonly dated to between 800 and 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, and concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus in his long journey back to his native land Ithaca after the fall of Troy.
It takes Odysseus ten years to return to his native land of Ithaca after ten years of war; during his 20-year absence, his son Telemachus and his wife Penelope must deal with a group of unruly suitors who have moved into Odysseus' home to compete for Penelope's hand in marriage, since most have assumed that Odysseus has died.
The poem is a fundamental text in the Western canon and continues to be read in both Homeric Greek and translations around the world. (Summary from Wikipedia
Genre(s): Action & Adventure Fiction, Classics (Antiquity), Nautical & Marine Fiction
Language: English (FULL Audiobook)

Thank you for the audio great voice aswell. If only I knew this 6 years ago when I started my education. Those books are not only exspensive but, it was absolute torrture to read the books like The art of war/ odyssey and endless more that is part of Archeology with ADHD .

I'm going to sign up for audible sometime this week. I'm getting my stipend from school, my federal tax return and got a job interview today so I'm going to be rolling in the dough and this will enable me to do a lot of paying for debts and self-improvement and also catapult my affiliate marketing business and possibly get certified as a personal motivational coach. I see you have an affiliate link as well. It seems to be the go-to business opportunity in order for me to start taking more trips to the beach and take up kayaking.

My married side of the family is Greek. It’s so fun. I sit with my 86 year old father in law and the stories and history he knows is amazing. An man who immigrated to the United States with $100 and built an empire. A man who never forgot his home country and loved the United States. He says, “ I have two mothers, one gave me birth, one gave me freedom and I love them both.”

let's not just give it a pass. LibriVox is a great idea and a valuable service, but in this instance it suffers in the execution. The abrupt changes in voices, the variations in volume, the strong accents: all these are distractions from enjoyment.

In the Librevox Iliad most chapters are read excellently and brave and noble deeds are recounted, then out of the blue one chapter is read in the most campy voice possible. I can imagine the armies ancient listeners rising from the dead to smite this foul rhapsode.

The first reader was great. They should have chained her to a rock until she finished the whole book. I also find Butler's prose translation much more understandable and entertaining than the stilted and abstruse verse translations, which are kind of silly considering that the Greeks didn't even have rhyme!

I've never read this or had any interest in this tale.. but I watched something on the streaming service Pluto.. a beautifully illustrated telling of the epic. Pretty dark, but thrilling & surprising. So much adventure & danger.. no wonder this tale still has the power to intrigue & capture imaginations.. nearly _3,000_ years after it was written.

she using the wrong names for the gods she's using roman names not the actual Greek names.

You're correct, they are using the Roman useage for most of the names. However, they're not reading them incorrectly. They are reading them as they were written. The translator, Samuel Butler, used the Roman names rather than the Greek. So you'll have to fault the translator, not the readers. Butler had his reasons, but I prefer other translations that use the Greek names. At any rate, Butler's is an otherwise fine translation. Thank you to the readers and the poster for sharing this great classic.

I'm listening for E tertainmemt. I have read this in print. I only have one constructive criticism, it is read with the Romen gods name's not the Greek. This federation requires a knowledge in both Roman and Greek mythology and the ability to differentiate the two mythology and maintain the Greek in locations and the generation beyond the heros.

Librivox readings are done by volunteers, they get assigned a section of a particular book. The variance can be rather extreme since they aren't professionals nor do they necessarily have the best recording conditions/equipment. They do it for free, out of love for the books, so no, there is no real quality control. If you want a professional reading, look on Audible.

I think he is a bit if a lad. Sorry I am from the UK dont know the US equivalent. His character in the Iliad is of a trickster. He came up with the idea of the wooden horse after all. He is described as cunning one of the translations I have. But cunning as in wise. Streetwise I suppose you could say. He is up for adventure always. Personally I think he is heroic almost by accident. He wasnt very heroic when he washed up on a foreign shore naked and found himself hiding his bits behind a tree branch (its a while since i read it) and begging help from a young princess. Plus he always has Athena to help him. You need the quotes from the text to back up what you say as well. I havent listened to this. Comments have put me off. I have read translations of it though over the years.

Using the classical Latin names is an old tradition; it goes back to when people actually knew mythology (and Latin, for that matter). Butler is old school. There are more modern translations that use the Greek names. Here's the catch: they are copyrighted; you won't be able to get them on audio for free. Don't look a gift (free) horse in the mouth. Or, as Jerome wrote in the 4th century, "Noli equi dentes inspicere donati."
