Everyone quotes The Art of War. Almost no one has read past the first line. For 2,500 years, the treatise attributed to Sun Tzu has been reduced to a slogan for boardrooms and locker rooms: attack, dominate, win at any cost.

The complete Homer in one volume — both epics and the lost third of the corpus that nearly every edition leaves out. Most "complete" editions of Homer give you the Iliad and the Odyssey and stop there. They are not complete.

This Erato Press edition restores them all, so that for once the reader holds the whole of what the ancient world meant by the name of Homer. THE COMPLETE TRADITIONAL CORPUS: • THE ILIAD — the wrath of Achilles, the war ...
