Epic tales of ancient heroes and legendary battles. Unforgettable characters shaped by gods and destiny. Timeless exploration of human emotions and triumphs. Gripping narratives of honor, courage, and sacrifice.

The oldest extant works of Western literature, Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey are an important part of the Greek culture. The Iliad gives a detailed poetic description of the war of Troy and expounds the battle and the events during the weeks of quarrels between King Agamemnon and warrior Achilles. The Odyssey expounds Homer's energetic vision of everyman's journey through life. It recounts the tale of Ulysses' ' nostros' -- journey back home, after the ten-year-long Trojan War and the fall of the city of Troy.
