The Odyssey: The Stephen Mitchell Translation is praised for its easy-to-read language and beautiful fluidity. One reviewer called Mitchell's translation "superb" and "high quality literature." Others noted that it was a great place to start for those who have never read Homer before or were previously turned off by other translations. One reviewer was not a fan of the translation, feeling that it dumbs down the story too much and lacks authenticity. However, most reviewers seemed to appreciate Mitchell's engaging and sensitive treatment of the epic story.
