The Homer Anthology: The Iliad and the Odyssey (Illustrated) (Texts from Ancient Greece Book 1)

This Bybliotech Anthology contains Homer's two great masterpieces, the Iliad and the Odyssey, taken from the seminal translations of Alexander Pope. Homer's classic works have stood the test of centuries, and have become an integral part of Western history and literature, alongside the canon of similar great names from ancient history such as Virgil and Horace.

The Iliad tells the tale of the ten year siege of Troy, and in particular the events surrounding the Greek King Agamemnon and the fabled warrior Achilles. Along with the Odyssey it is one of the oldest works of Western literature.

The Odyssey is in part a sequel to the Iliad, and focuses on the Greek hero Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the fall of Troy. Odysseus angers Poseidon who prevents him from reaching his home and family on the island of Ithaca for a decade, encompassing great adventures.

This unexpurgated version of Homer's works has been compiled by www.Bybliotech.org and optimised for e-readers. It includes an active table of contents for ease of navigation, and features ten unique illustrations - depicting the most recognisable moments from the epic poems.
