Description
Among a great number of legends about the Trojan War only Homer's Iliad and Odyssey have been fully preserved. The Odyssey is a heroic poem, a masterpiece of the world poetry, created almost three thousand years ago, but even nowadays sparks a keen interest within the modern audience. Homer's poetry is amazingly beautiful; it possesses something that bothers and invites to think and even argue about the eternal questions: a world and a place of a person in it, what for one should live and die. These mind blowing epic works were approached by great thinkers of the twentieth century - Kafka, Mandelstam, Joyce, Borges; Homer's poetry is still currently important. Dipping into epos, from which the whole world literature developed, you can feel that you raise above the tiny problems and stand near characters without any fear or blame, because epos is magnificent and massive, it is dedicated to the landmark events.
