El viaje de Ulises se ha convertido en un mito common y los angeles Odisea en una lectura para todos los tiempos
Tras una década de guerra, una ofensa al dios Poseidón ha alejado de su reino al astuto héroe otros diez años, condenado a navegar sin rumbo y a sufrir las más diversas vicisitudes. los angeles Odisea, que sucede a los angeles caída de Troya, sigue los pasos de Ulises -el nombre latino de Odiseo, que esta traducción adopta- y nos acerca al relato de su largo peregrinaje para volver al hogar, Ítaca.

Odisea en una pieza clave de l. a. cultura universal.
La presente edicióncuenta con un prólogo y l. a. magnífica versión en verso de Fernando Gutiérrez, así como una introducción y un aparato de notas elaborado por el traductor y periodista Joan Casas, y un epílogo escrito por el poeta, ensayista y traductor José Ángel Valente.
«Los mortales se atreven, ¡ay!, siempre a culpar a los dioses
porque dicen que todos sus men nosotros les damos,
y son ellos que, con sus locuras, se atraen infortunios
que el Destino jamás decretó.»
