Paperback Greek edition of the Odyssey?

Greek Learning Greek

Hello,

I’m looking for a paperback edition of the Odyssey in Greek - I need to read the entire poem for a university paper I’m taking.

I already have Allen’s OCT editions - however, I’m looking for a single-volume copy which I can stuff in my bag and take on the go.

There’s the following edition on Amazon by JiaHuBooks - however, the text inside is horribly formatted

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Odyssey-Ancient-Greek-Homer/dp/1909669261/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3U3QF3C6B69AG&keywords=odyssey+ancient+greek+edition&qid=1663190972&sprefix=odyssey+ancient+greek+edition%2Caps%2C62&sr=8-4

I’ve also found the following attractive bilingual editions in German and Italian:

https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Homer/dp/3150186404/ref=sr_1_2?crid=39XMNQ4DL7WU5&keywords=odysee+griechisch&qid=1663191458&sprefix=odysee+greek%2Caps%2C59&sr=8-2

https://www.amazon.it/Odissea-Testo-greco-fronte-Omero/dp/8817020710/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TL10KKZW62YL&keywords=omero+odissea&qid=1663191534&s=books&sprefix=omero+odi%2Cstripbooks%2C65&sr=1-1

I don’t have either modern language so the facing translation wouldn’t distract me from the Greek, however, I was wondering if anyone knows of a monolingual Greek edition I could look into.

Van Thiel is my favorite. The perfect no nonsense paperback. West is good in hardback, but I wouldn’t buy a paperback from De Gruyter and expect it to last very long.

I can’t find a copy of van Thiel’s Homeri Odyssea on Amazon, but here it is on AbeBooks: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30947723360

(ISBN 10: 3487094584 / ISBN 13: 9783487094588).

You can ignore “Band I” in the description.

Thank you - this passed under my radar. What’s the font like?

Looks great - although it’s a shame about the pesky lunate sigma!
