Description

The Odyssey & The Iliad by Homer

The Odyssey – Begins at the end of the Trojan War, when Odysseus sets sail for the island of Ithaca, where his wife Penelope and son Telemachus await him. But the journey is fraught with perils, and for years he struggles against new enemies and ill fortune, only to reach home disguised as a beggar. Robert Fagles’s extraordinary visceral translation breathes new life into Homer’s majestic creation.

The Iliad – Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.
