Homer - The Iliad & Odyssey (15 translations) torrent

HOMER (ca. 7th or 8th century BCE) is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. His ILIAD and ODYSSEY are the two oldest extant works of Western literature and have exerted an enormous influence on the history of literature.

The ILIAD is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, and tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.

The ODYSSEY is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, and mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (known as Ulysses in Roman myths) and his journey home after the fall of Troy.
