Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. The “Odyssey” which is regarded as the top classical literature has been fully translated for the first time into Mongolian by State Honored Cultural Figure, translator D.Tsakhilgaan.


It is believed that the Iliad and Odyssey epics, considered as the oldest works of Western literature, were written around 725-675 BC and the author is still unknown. Until now, only the summaries and brief versions of Odyssey and Iliad were translated into Mongolian.
