It's a great book to read and treasure, and it's a great addition to any library. Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey, the oldest existing works of Western literature, are vital parts of Greek civilization. The Iliad presents a thorough poetic depiction of the Trojan War, including the fighting and events during King Agamemnon's and warrior Achilles' weeks of quarrels. Homer's passionate view of everyman's journey through life is exemplified in The Odyssey. It tells the story of Ulysses' 'nostros, ' or return journey home after the ten-year Trojan War and the fall of Troy.
