Download Homer Box Set: Iliad & Odyssey AudioBook Free
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey are definitely two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Traditional western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world's very best war epic. The bad and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the common promotions, the heroism and treachery of its combatants unparalleled in melody and story. Driven by fierce passions and loyalties, men and gods battle to a damaging conclusion. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and escapades Odysseus must go through on his long trip home from the Trojan wars to his precious wife. Though the stormy god of the sea has sworn vengeance against him, and witches and sirens try to lure him off course, Odysseus is ingenious and has the amazing goddess Athena on his area. Homer (9th or 8th hundred years B.C.) is the presumed writer of the Iliad and the Odyssey, both very best epic poems of historical Greece. Virtually there is nothing known about his life. Traditions has it that he was blind. Most scholars believe that he made up the Iliad and the Odyssey by relying on oral practices. Their value lies chiefly in the poetry itself, moving from sublime passages about the gods and heroic exploits to passages expressing profound human emotion.
