Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 42nd Edition By Publisher. 469 pages.** 230 Grams; (by HOMER author of he Odyssey) The Iliad is Homer's other great epic, and it's very different from The Odyssey. ** The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, set during the Trojan War. It focuses not on the whole war, but on a short, intense period near its end, exploring themes of honor, rage, mortality, fate, and the cost of war. ** The poem centers on Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, whose anger (menis) drives the plot. After a dispute with Agamemnon, Achilles withdraws from battle, leading to devastating consequences for the Greeks. When his close companion Patroclus is killed by Hector, Achilles returns to battle, kills Hector, and ultimately confronts the human cost of his rage. ** Plot: ? Quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon Achilles refuses to fight after Agamemnon dishonors him. The Greeks suffer without Achilles Hector leads the Trojans to major victories. Patroclus's death Wearing Achilles's armor, Patroclus is slain by Hector. Achilles's return Consumed by grief and fury, Achilles kills Hector. Priam's plea King Priam bravely visits Achilles to beg for Hector's body. Achilles, moved by shared grief, returns it-one of the poem's most powerful moments. ** Major Themes: Rage and honor Achilles's anger shapes the entire narrative. Mortality vs. glory Heroes seek eternal fame knowing life is short. War's brutality The Iliad is unflinching about violence and loss.

Soft cover. Etat : GOOD+. 29th Ed. 200 grams ** 365 pages. he Odyssey is an ancient Greek epic poem attributed to Homer, telling the story of Odysseus's long, perilous journey home after the Trojan War. It explores themes of homecoming (nostos), hospitality (xenia), loyalty, identity, and the tension between mortal life and temptation. ** The Odyssey follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca, as he struggles for ten years to return home, facing monsters, gods, and temptations, while his wife Penelope and son Telemachus fend off suitors who assume he is dead. ** Begins in medias res: Odysseus has been gone 20 years-10 at Troy, 10 trying to return. He is trapped on Calypso's island. Telemachus' quest: Guided by Athena, he searches for news of his father and grows into adulthood. ** Odysseus's wanderings (Books 9-12): Lotus-Eaters; Cyclops Polyphemus (whom he blinds, angering Poseidon); Aeolus's winds; Laestrygonians; Circe; Underworld; Sirens; Scylla & Charybdis; Cattle of the Sun These episodes test his cunning, endurance, and leadership. ** Return to Ithaca: Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar. Penelope proposes a bow-stringing contest. Only Odysseus succeeds. ** Revenge & restoration: He kills the suitors with Telemachus's help and reunites with Penelope. ** 24 books, originally part of an oral tradition. ** Major Themes: Nostos (homecoming): The emotional and moral pull of returning home. Xenia (hospitality): A moral code-good hosts and guests are rewarded; violators are punished. Identity & disguise: Odysseus's cunning often relies on concealment. Temptation vs. duty: Calypso's immortality, the Lotus-Eaters' oblivion, and other distractions threaten his return.
