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.

As an alternative audiobook, since these works are in the public domain there are also free versions available such here:

The Amazon version might be more professionally performed. Though there may be charm in hearing an amateur's reading (no opinion from me - I haven't downloaded it)

Generally recommended that modern readers choose the prose version translated by Fagles. Can't speak on narration.

One of the reviews says by Samuel Butler, not Fagles.

I heard the movie is trash. Just a random collection of actors thrown into roles based on their ability to possibly bring people into the theater. Apparently a rapper has a big role in the movie. Some dude that has never acted in his life. 🤣🫣

It just released this week in theaters.

Travis Scott. Plays a bard (musician). Seems fitting. I haven't seen it. Imdb.
