The Odyssey of Homer

by Homer

Published 1 January 1920
The fruit of four years' work, Lawrence published his translation of Homer's epic under the pseudonym of T. E. Shaw, after George Bernard Shaw. Reading like a novel, it was described in the New York Herald Tribune as `perhaps the most interesting translation of one of the world's most interesting books', while the Book of the Month Club News called it `one of the notable books of our time'.
