# Iliad & Odyssey

**Homer **chronicled **ancient Greek history and oral tradition** and in the 8th century BCE he captured **two epic stories** **told in verse** that recounted the adventures of **classical heroes and villains of mythology**. From the devastating war between the ancient civilizations of **Athens and Troy**, to **Odysseus’s perilous and lengthy journey home**… from gods and goddesses to sirens and suitors… the events and characters in the *Iliad *and the *Odyssey* had a profound effect on how stories have been told in books and Hollywood blockbusters.

Inside this volume:

- the Iliad — the saga of the last days of the legendary Trojan War of antiquity, fought between bitter rivals Troy and Athens;

- the Odyssey — the story of Trojan War hero Odysseus’s decade-long quest to return to his family, filled with harrowing monsters and mighty gods.
