Summary: Excellent audio tape
Comment: My children (8 and 12 years), as well as the adults in our family, totally enjoyed this four hour cassette version of Homer's Odyssey. Roger Rees, who performs the Odyssey, does a great job. Such a good job, in fact, that we intend to purchase the Iliad, which he also records under the New Millennium Audio label. This audio tape is certainly not a substitute for reading the book, but for children too young to read it but who are interested in ancient Greek culture, literature, and mythology, these tapes are great. In addition, these tapes are great entertainment for the whole family on the road or in other circumstances where reading the text isn't convenient.

Summary: A mislabeled abridgment
Comment: This is an excellent reading of Samuel Butler's 1900 prose translation of The Odyssey; however, it is not unabridged, as it claims. Butler's translation runs to about 118,000 words. This 6-hour recording appears to contain a little more than half the text.
