July 22– From The Odyssey by Homer translated by S.H. Butcher and A. Lang

Summary: NOMAN kills the Cyclops.

Commentary: I'm actually working on a series of posts on The Odyssey, since my stepdaughter is reading it, so I'll save most of my thoughts on this section in general for there. A couple notes on this specific version.

I really appreciate the same paragraph footnotes. Usually they're out of section or way way out there and I just get rid of them. 

The traditional Outis/Nemo is translated here as Noman, rather than the more common "Nobody." This gives it a real Lord of The Rings flair.

Finally:

Exactly how I picture it when the men hide under the sheep to escape.
