The Iliad & The Odyssey ebook

Ten years of war. Ten more years to find his way home. Together, these are the two poems that built the foundation of Western storytelling.

The Iliad plunges into the final, blood-soaked weeks of the Trojan War, where the rage of Achilles reshapes the fate of armies and gods alike. The Odyssey follows Odysseus's decade-long, monster-strewn voyage home to Ithaca -- a test of cunning, endurance, and hope against a hostile sea and hostile gods.

Homer's twin epics gave the world its first heroes, its first monsters, and its first war stories -- and nearly three thousand years later, they still define what an epic is.

• The two foundational epics of Western literature, together in one volume
• Gods, monsters, heroes, and a decade-long voyage home
