Embark on two epic journeys with Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey—two of the oldest and most influential works of Western literature, and powerful ancient myths that still resonate today.

Homer chronicled ancient Greek history and oral tradition, and in the 8th century BCE, he captured two epic stories told in verse that recounted the adventures of classical heroes and villains of mythology. From the devastating war between the ancient civilizations of Athens and Troy, to Odysseus’s perilous and lengthy journey home…from gods and goddesses to sirens and suitors…the events and characters in The Iliad and The Odyssey had a profound effect on how stories have been told in books and Hollywood blockbusters.

Inside this collection:

The Iliad—the saga of the last days of the legendary Trojan War of antiquity, fought between bitter rivals Troy and Athens.
The Odyssey—the story of Trojan War hero Odysseus’s decade-long quest to return to his family, filled with harrowing monsters and mighty gods.

About the Author

Homer is a legendary ancient Greek poet, traditionally said to be the author of the two great epics of Greek history: the Iliad and the Odyssey. Both books are considered landmarks in human literature, and Homer is therefore often cited as the starting point of Western literary and historical tradition.
