Ancient & Classical Editorial Review

The Odyssey translated by Fagles is an excellent read with its use of poetic language and easy translation for readers. This book is filled with adventure, battles, romance, and heroism that will keep any fantasy reader interested. Each page has a different size, which makes it difficult to turn over. However, the error in the book's copy, where the pages jump from 306 to 339, and then 339 to 370, is a letdown. It is disappointing that the book is missing the 18th chapter. The product's packaging is also not suitable as some copies arrived with damage to the front cover and initial pages. Overall, The Odyssey is an exciting read that everyone should have, especially those who love fantasy books.
