Ὀδύσσεια

The Odyssey

Odysseia

Homer · Ὅμηρος

The Odyssey in the original Ancient Greek, complete in 508 pages — twenty-four books entire. The hexameter is set as verse, with the poem's own line breaks rather than reflowed as prose, and no English faces it. Copy-text: A. T. Murray, Homer: The Odyssey, Loeb Classical Library, London/New York 1919. The Greek text only.

Set in Gentium Book Plus at 11pt over 1.74 leading. Canonical line numbers sit in the outer margin every ten lines, faint enough to find when you want them and quiet enough to ignore when you do not. No line in the poem is too long for the measure, so none of them turn.
