In the preface to his James Joyce's Ulysses, Stuart Gilbert wrote "I had begun by reading the Odyssey and though at first I found my knowledge of the Early Ionic sadly rusty after may years' obsolescence, facility came with progress, and, with it, a renewed, and enhanced, pleasure in the greatest of all epics. Indeed the Odyssey is quite easy reading; a smattering of Greek (seconded by a good dictionary and W. W. Merry's notes) suffices. No other work of literary art in any language is equally refreshing and rewarding, and if I can persuade any of the readers of Ulysses to follow up with a reading of the Odyssey in the original--translations are but reflections in a tarnished mirror--I shall have done them a good turn."
