Title: The Odessy
Product review: My major complaint with this translation was the way it was written. Throughout the book, written as a novel as opposed to in free verse, there is a forced sense of grandeur from the author. Conversations between characters seem more like monologues than any actual dialog. Two chapters, or books, that immediately come to mind are when Zeus and Poseidon are talking followed by the almost laughable conversation between the main hero and a swineherd. Rouse uses a more rustic dialect for the swineherd yet maintaining the long drawn out mini-speech approach used previously in the book.
