More than three thousand years old, it was the first story to delineate carefully and exhaustively a single character arc -- a narrative structure that serves as the foundation and heart of the modern novel. Robert Squillace's revision of George Herbert Palmer's classic prose translation captures the drama and vitality of adventure, while remaining true to the original Homeric language.\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/P\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u0026amp;\u0026amp;LP\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R\u0026amp;\u0026amp;LB\u0026amp;\u0026amp;RRobert Squillace\u0026amp;\u0026amp;L\/B\u0026amp;\u0026amp;R teaches in the Cultural Foundations division of New York University's General Studies Program.
