It is a must-have for every literature enthusiast who wishes to maintain alibrary of their own—the combination of two Homeric epics. The two veryimportant pillars of Greek culture narrate the events during the end of theTrojan War and Ulysses’s journey back home following the 10-year-longwar. Nearly 3,000 years after they were composed, the Iliad and the Odysseycontinue to be two of the most celebrated and widely read stories ever told.Homer’s poems provided a set model of heroism, nobility and good lifeto which all Greeks subscribed. He provided a common set of values thatpreserved the Greeks’ ideas about themselves.
