Description
Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another - Homer, the Iliad. The Iliad and the Odyssey are two epic poems from Ancient Greece which have become cornerstones of Western literature. One set during the Trojan war and the other after Troy has fallen, these legendary works are filled with fallible gods and foolhardy heroes. This hardback collector's edition features accessible prose translations, ideal for those wanting to be thrown into the action of these thrilling tales. ABOUT THE SERIES: The World Classics Library series gathers together the work of authors and philosophers whose ideas have stood the test of time. Perfect for bibliophiles, these gorgeous jacketed hardbacks are a wonderful addition to any bookshelf.
