Background
The Odyssey (Samuel Butler translation) is a well-known and freely available translation of the Odyssey hero myth (first published in 1900). Samuel Butler, who also translated the Iliad in 1898, took a keen interest in Greek mythology and translated standard prose versions of the epics in order that they could be read by a wider audience. Like The Iliad, the Odyssey also has twenty-four books.
