Odyssey

Joe Sachs
Role: Translator
Sachs has been a tutor at St. John’s College more than 30 years and is a well-renowned translator of Aristotle and Plato.

This new translation by Joe Sachs powerfully presents the Odyssey with a modern clarity that suits the vigorous narrative of Odysseus’s perilous ten-year voyage home to Ithaca. Joe Sachs’s translations are known for being faithful to the original Greek, and this is no exception.
