About The Odyssey of Homer

The Odyssey of Homer is an English translation of the Odyssey of Homer by English poet Alexander Pope. It was published in five volumes between 1725 and 1726. As with his translation of the Iliad, Pope changed the metre from the dactylic hexameter used by the Homeric Greek text into heroic couplets, rhyming pairs of lines in iambic pentameter.
