THE ILIAD AND THE ODYSSEY (Paperback) Ð by Homer

Product details

It is a must-have for every literature enthusiast who wishes to maintain a library of their own—the combination of two Homeric epics. The two very important pillars of Greek culture narrate the events during the end of the Trojan War and Ulysses’s journey back home following the 10-year-long war. Nearly 3,000 years after they were composed, the Iliad and the Odyssey continue to be two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told. Homer’s poems provided a set model of heroism, nobility and good life to which all Greeks subscribed. He provided a common set of values that preserved the Greeks’ ideas about themselves.
