An exquisitely designed leather-bound edition with a gold-foiled cover, this omnibus featuring Samuel Butler’ s translations of the two Homeric epics comes with a ribbon bookmark, gilded edges, and beautiful endpapers. Ideal to be read and treasured, it makes for a perfect addition to any library. The oldest extant works of Western literature, Homer’ s The Iliad and The Odyssey are an important part of the Greek culture. The Iliad gives a detailed poetic description of the war of Troy and expounds the battle and the events during the weeks of quarrels between King Agamemnon and warrior Achilles. The Odyssey expounds Homer’ s energetic vision of everyman’ s journey through life. It recounts the tale of Ulysses’ ‘ nostros’ — journey back home, after the ten-year-long Trojan War and the fall of the city of Troy.
