THE ILIAD AND THE ODYSSEY

It is a must-have for every literature enthusiast who wishes to maintain a / library of their own-the combination of two Homeric epics. The two very / important pillars of Greek culture narrate the events during the end of the / Trojan War and Ulysses's journey back home following the 10-year-long / war. Nearly 3,000 years after they were composed, the Iliad and the Odyssey / continue to be two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told. / Homer's poems provided a set model of heroism, nobility and good life / to which all Greeks subscribed. He provided a common set of values that / preserved the Greeks' ideas about themselves./
