The Iliad & The Odyssey
About this book
Heroes, gods, and destiny—two epics that shaped the very soul of storytelling.
The Iliad and The Odyssey, attributed to Homer, are the greatest epics of ancient Greece and cornerstones of world literature.
The Iliad recounts the final weeks of the Trojan War, where rage, honor, and fate collide on the battlefield. At its heart stands Achilles, the mightiest warrior of the Greeks, whose wrath shapes the course of war and legend.
The Odyssey follows Odysseus, the cunning king of Ithaca, on his perilous journey home after Troy's fall. Facing cyclopes, sirens, sea monsters, and the wrath of the gods, his quest is as much about endurance and wisdom as it is about survival.
Together, these epics weave tales of heroism, love, betrayal, and the eternal struggle between mortal ambition and divine will. Their influence stretches across centuries, inspiring poets, philosophers, and storytellers around the world.
Majestic, timeless, and unforgettable, The Iliad and The Odyssey remain essential reading for anyone who seeks the roots of Western imagination.
