Iliad
The Iliad can justly be called “the world’s greatest war novel.” The terrible siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, and the heroism and treachery of the combatants are unmatched in song and story.
Odyssey
The Odyssey is concerned with Odysseus’ difficulties in returning home after the Trojan War. It is unquestionably one of the great epic masterpieces of Western literature and a storehouse of Greek folklore and myth.
HOMER (9th or 8th century B.C.) is the presumed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems of ancient Greece. Virtually nothing is known about his life. Tradition has it that he was blind. Most scholars believe he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey, likely relying on oral traditions. Their value lies chiefly in the poetry itself, moving from sublime passages about the gods and heroic exploits to passages expressing deep human emotion. |
