L'odyssée: Extraits

It is the tenth year of the Trojan War. The Greek allies have laid siege to the city of Troy, but the leaders of the Greek factions are beginning to turn on one another. When Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, angers Achilles, leader of the Myrmidons, the gods begin to intervene more directly in the conflict, and the war becomes even more dangerous for the heroes of Greece and Troy. The Iliad is attributed to the poet Homer and is the earliest surviving work of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poem has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. The story of the Trojan War was adapted for the 2004 film Troy, which starred Brad Pitt and Eric Bana.

Iliad

Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died. The Odyssey is attributed to the poet Homer and, after its companion poem the Iliad, is the second-oldest surviving work of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poem has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. Actor Sean Bean took on the role of Odysseus in the 2004 film Troy, which depicted the events directly leading up to the voyage of the Odyssey.

Odyssey

This poem mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths) and his long journey home following the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War.[2] In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, called Proci, competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.

L'odyssée d'Homère. T3 (Éd.1716)

Cet ouvrage nous fait revivre l'expédition Baudin en Australie dont le coup d'envoi fut donné par Bonaparte. Il retrace les moments de découvertes, les scènes de quasi mutinerie à bord, les caprices des scientifiques et les complots des officiers, les rencontres avec les "naturels", la réalisation de la première carte complète de l'Australie. S'appuyant sur de multiples sources, ce livre rend sa place à cette expédition qui ramena intacts en 1803 et 1804 les navires partis du Havre en 1800, avec à leur bord des milliers d'espèces végétales et animales.

Odyssée

De ce livre fondateur - le récit de la colère d'Achille, privé par Agamemnon de sa captive Briséis, et refusant de combattre contre les Troyens - nombre de traductions ont été données. Celle de Frédéric Mugler, restant la plus fidèle possible au texte original, tente de lui rendre aussi sa puissance lyrique et incantatoire : la poésie d'Homère était dite, ou chantée. Or le choix du vers de quatorze pieds, dont la longueur permet - au fil du texte - de restituer l'ampleur du poème tout entier, rend au chant son jaillissement et ses harmoniques secrètes.

L'Iliade (trad. Frédéric Mugler)

The classic tale of Odysseus's return home in a stunning new translation.
THE ODYSSEY, which tells of Odysseus's long voyage home after the battle of Troy, is one of the defining masterpieces of Western literature.
Populated by one-eyed man-eating giants, beautiful seductive goddesses, and lavishly hospitable kings and queens, it is an extraordinary work of the imagination, the original epic voyage into the unknown that has inspired other writing down through the ages - from ancient poems to modern fiction and films. 
With its consummately modern hero, full of guile and wit, THE ODYSSEY is perfectly suited to our times. 
Thanks to the scholarship and poetic power of the highly acclaimed Stephen Mitchell, this new translation recreates the energy and simplicity, the speed, the grace, and continual thrust and pull of the original, so that THE ODYSSEY's ancient story bursts vividly into new life.
