A classic keepsake for fans of Greek mythology, as well as all great literature, Iliad && Odyssey is the perfect addition to any library.

Homer is a legendary ancient Greek poet, traditionally said to be the author of the two great epics of Greek history: the Iliad and the Odyssey. Both books are considered landmarks in human literature, and Homer is therefore often cited as the starting point of Western literary and historical tradition.
