The Odyssey

(University of Oklahoma Press) Jordan translates the ancient Greek epic into blank verse, rendering the Odyssey line-for-line in iambic pentameter. Jordan navigates Homer’s dactyls and extended metaphors, capturing the essence of the poet’s meanings while avoiding an overly literal or colloquial style. In 2008, Jordan published a translation of Homer’s Iliad. Jordan is an attorney and an independent scholar of Greek.
