  • Note: Eligible Prime members may apply earned No-Rush Shipping credits to this purchase (check balance).
Details:
  • The Iliad:
    • Join Achilles at the Gates of Troy as he slays Hector to Avenge the death of Patroclus. Here is a story of love and war, hope and despair, and honor and glory. The recent major motion picture Helen of Troy starring Brad Pitt proves that this epic is as relevant today as it was twenty five hundred years ago when it was first written. So journey back to the Trojan War with Homer and relive the grandest adventure of all times.
  • The Odyssey:
    • Journey with Ulysses as he battles to bring his victorious, but decimated, troops home from the Trojan War, dogged by the wrath of the god Poseidon at every turn. Having been away for twenty years, little does he know what awaits him when he finally makes his way home.
  • These two books are some of the most important books in the literary canon, having influenced virtually every adventure tale ever told. And yet they are still accessible and immediate, and now you can have both in one volume.
  • Narrated by Charles Purkey.

Quote from Princeman :
One of the reviews says by Samuel Butler, not Fagles.
Good to know. Butler worked 150 years ago, so many people will need a translation of the translation.

I just hope they're making sure the royalties are being sent to the author's family.

I heard the movie is trash.

It just released this week in theaters.
Oh, you definitely need to see the film, you'll realize the people that told you that haven't watched it.

Yes. Ancient Greek poet Homer was deeply inspired by it when he saw the early screening.

I'd buy it if it was read by Morgan Freeman.
Kate Beckingsale for me. I love her voice and accent.

It is. Homer gave Nolan's script a high rating.

Nah. Morgan Freeman is the best narrator ever.
