Homerus - The Iliad - Language: English, Poetry - Format: iSilo
The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (More) (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles' looming death and the sack of Troy, prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, so that when it reaches an end, the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War.
Homerus - The Odyssey - Language: English, Poetry - Format: iSilo
The Odyssey (Greek: Ὀδύσσεια, Odýsseia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western (More) canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. Scholars believe it was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia.
Homerus - Iliade - Language: Italian, Poetry - Format: ePub
L'Iliade è un poema epico tradizionalmente attribuito ad Omero, composto da ventiquattro libri o canti, ognuno dei quali è indicato con una lettera dell'alfabeto greco maiuscolo per un totale di 15.688 versi in esametri dattilici. (More) Il titolo deriva da Īlĭŏn, l'altro nome dell'antica Troia, cittadina dell'Ellesponto (e da non confondere con Ilion nell'Epiro). Opera ciclopica e complessa, è un caposaldo della letteratura greca e occidentale. Narra le vicende di un breve periodo della storia della guerra di Troia, accadute nei cinquantuno giorni dell'ultimo anno di guerra, di cui l'ira di Achille è l'argomento portante del poema.

Homerus - The Iliad & The Odyssey - Language: English, Poetry - Format: ePub
While Homer's existence as a historical person is still a topic of debate, the writings attributed to the name have made their mark not only on Greek history and literature, but upon western civilization itself. Homer's epic (More) poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, laid the foundation upon which Ancient Greece developed not only its culture, but its societal values, religious beliefs, and practice of warfare as well. This publication features the Samuel Butler translation, and while it strays from the poetic style reproduced by more well known translators like Robert Fagles and Robert Fitzgerald, the vision of the epics as if they were prose found in modern novels take their best form under Butler's most capable hand.
