Proem; the gods in council; Athena goes to Ithaka, and Telémachos greets her.

Odyssey 1.1-143

Rodney Merrill reads the Odyssey in his translation. In the Afterword he introduces the poem and explains his use of a strict dactylic-hexameter meter like that of the ancient oral epic. The book itself, published by the University of Michigan Press, may be previewed on the Press's website at https://www.press.umich.edu/17216/odyssey/?s=description.
