About the Books The Iliad is one of the oldest surviving works of Western literature, a timeless epic poem following great warriors caught between their own heroic pride and the often vicious whims of fate and the gods. Set during the final weeks of the decade-long Trojan War, it explores themes of honour, rage, mortality and glory through unforgettable characters such as Achilles, Hector and Agamemnon. The Odyssey follows the long, perilous journey of Odysseus as he tries to return home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy, facing monsters, gods and temptations while his wife Penelope and son Telemachus wait for him.
