What's Inside

  • The Iliad

    Rage, honor, and the brutal cost of war. Set during the Trojan War, The Iliad chronicles the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon, the death of Hector, and the tragic heroism that defined ancient Greek culture. This is where Western literature begins.

  • The Odyssey

    After ten years at war, Odysseus faces another ten years of perilous journey home. From the Cyclops to the Sirens, from Circe's island to the underworld itself, this epic voyage gave us the original adventure story and explores themes of loyalty, cunning, and the meaning of home.
