Notes:

"Reprinted 1977."

"The Odyssey as we have it is an epic of over twelve thousand lines. It has been divided, like the Iliad and probably at the same time, into twenty-four books. Book number and line number are the standard terms of reference. The contents can be, very broadly, divided as follows: The Telemachy or Adventures of Telemachos, i-iv. The Homecoming of Odysseus, v-viii and xiii. 1-187. The Great Wanderings, ix-xii. Odysseus on Ithaka, xiii.187-xxiv.548."--Introduction.
