The Odyssey (Super Deluxe Edition) (Chartwell Deluxe Editions

One of the greatest adventure tales in history, The Odyssey—Odysseus’s journey home after The Trojan War—is still a must-read in this newly designed faux-leather edition.

A stunning gift edition of the age-old tale of Odysseus and his journey.

This epic poem by Homer, believed to have been written between the eighth and ninth centuries BC, continues to be essential reading for young and old alike.

The Odyssey follows the Greek hero Odysseus on a ten-year journey back to his home in Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War. The challenges he encounters along the way, both natural and supernatural, continually test his character and endurance. Run-ins with Cyclops, Medusa, and the Sirens are only a few of the obstacles he must overcome to see his wife and son once again.

Publishing just in time for Christopher Nolan’s epic action fantasy film adaptation, this deluxe edition of The Odyssey, translated by Samuel Butler, features:

• An elegant faux-leather cover with foil-embossed designs
• Beautiful sprayed edges
• Introduction by literature and writing professor Andrew Lynn
• Unabridged text
• A summary of the original tale with a key describing its major characters
• A summary of what we know of Homer’s life

This display-worthy classic is a perfect gift for fans of the 2026 film, Ancient Greece, or classic literature, and makes a spectacular addition to any home library.
