Description: "R. L. Eickhoff, Ph. D., an award-winning translator and academic, has won the praise of readers of fiction and students of Ancient Irish alike for his translations of the Ulster Cycle. His studies in the foundations of Irish literature have established the ten books of the Ulster Cycle as Ireland's national epic and made these books The Iliad and The Odyssey of Eickhoff's ancestral homeland." "Now Eickhoff continues his ambitious studies in the languges of the ancients, taking on the foundation of all Western literature, The Odyssey, universally recognized as the definitive narrative of human struggle and survival and as the world's greatest adventure story."--Jacket.
