Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless.

The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns, the heroism and treachery of its combatants unmatched in song and story. Driven by fierce passions and loyalties, men and gods battle to a devastating conclusion.

The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife. Though the stormy god of the ocean has sworn vengeance against him, and witches and sirens try to lure him off course, Odysseus is clever and has the brilliant goddess Athena on his side.

Homer (9th or 8th century B.C.) is the presumed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems of ancient Greece. Virtually nothing is known about his life. Tradition has it that he was blind. Most scholars believe he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey by relying on oral traditions. Their value lies chiefly in the poetry itself, moving from sublime passages about the gods and heroic exploits to passages expressing deep human emotion.

This is obviously a tried and true epics with great stories of old. What sets this apart is the outstanding narration by Anthony Heald. It was like listening to a play. I bought 3 other classics he narrated just to continue to enjoy his readings.

I sincerely wonder how much embellishment has been added by the translator. Could the real story several thousand years old be so amazing? This text is yet more amazing than Troy the Brad Pitt movie and all those boring Titan movies. Perhaps we aren't at all more advanced than our ancestors.

Bloody and Awesome

As accessible as a covers action and as dynamic as Shakespearean drama, Tony Heald's reading of the Odyssey is superb!

Tony Heald's voice will take you there!

I was afraid the story would be over my head, but was very well read/performed making it easy to follow.

Really excellent. it's amazing how applicable and touching these stories remain, even over centuries.

Excellent

Everyone should read these books at least once in their lifetime. Not only is this classic literature, but it is also incredibly interesting. The great myths of the Trojan war and the long journey home for Odysseus are so epic in our culture it’s astonishing that this is not required reading. I read the Odyssey in high school, but not the Iliad. Both are phenomenal and I could not recommend this set enough.

Well read and acted out. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A must read

Amazing narration!

Hats off to this very talented voice actor for managing to pronounce so many Greek names in such a variety of character voices. As for the books, they are the definitive epic story. I enjoyed the Odyssey more, but can't imagine not ready the Iliad first for context.

Excellent Performance
