Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:

Product Description
The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.

In CliffsNotes on The Odyssey, you follow along on Homer's grand adventure. This epic poem unfurls the story of Odysseus' triumph over Troy and arduous journey home to reclaim his kingdom. At 2,500 years old, it is one of the finest books ever written; as poetry, it sets the standard for comparison; and it serves as one of the foundations of the Western world's cultural heritage.

This study guide carries you along on Odysseus' journey by providing summaries and critical analyses of each book. You'll also explore the life and background of the epic, Homer, and gain insight into the Homeric Question. Other features that help you study include

  • Character analyses of major players
  • A character map that graphically illustrates the relationships among the characters
  • Critical essays on the literary devices and major symbols of The Odyssey
  • A review section that tests your knowledge
  • A Resource Center full of books, articles, films, and Internet sites

Classic literature or modern modern-day treasure — you'll understand it all with expert information and insight from CliffsNotes study guides.

Customer Reviews:

 • The Odyssey
22 November, 2007

If you are in a hurry to complete your report, it will help you so. But don't forget to read the entire book as soon as you can.

 • Nothing Special...
12 November, 2008

Most people I know have to read the book at some time in high school or college; this cliffs note guide offers generally the same type of review information you could find for free online, though of course its trim paperback format makes it a more convenient, portable size for flipping through and taking notes in while in a line or a waiting room. I got it for free or a sale (it's been awhile) with the book The Odyssey itself but didn't find it to be a particularly helpful companion to the book. I'd suggest just taking notes as you read and useing them.

 • Surprisingly Thorough
24 September, 2007

The important details of every Book are explained and analyzed, not very much in-depth but deeply enough to give a basic understanding of what's going on, why, and how it might be interpreted. I had read the Odyssey twice in the past (and remembered almost nothing), so this was a great way to refresh my memory without having to read the epic for the third time for a course. It is not intended to replace reading the actual epic, but it does help make it more accessible to all. Good work.

 • Cliffnotes
24 September, 2000

This is a great way to help you better understand the book. While it does not take the place of the book it is a really good learning tool,
