Troy: The Iliad and The Odyssey

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Homer's famous epics, The Iliad and The Odyssey, tell of the Trojan War fought by the Greeks and the Trojans, then the long journey undertaken by Ulysses to try to get back to his island of Ithaca, where Penelope patiently awaited. This book sets off to explore that fascinating universe, untangling the myths, the famous characters, and their trials and tribulations. Based on the actual text written by Homer, it recounts the adventures of Achilles and Ulysses-a journey described in beautiful images and illustrations, an iconography that has influenced culture throughout the ages and across the continents.
