Publisher's summary

"There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep."—The Odyssey

"Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another."—The Iliad

"Let your spear be your passport."—The Odyssey

Homer is one of the most important figures in ancient Greek literature, believed to have lived in the 8th century BC. He is most famous for his epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are considered to be the founding works of Western literature. The Iliad tells the story of the Trojan War, focusing on the hero Achilles, while the Odyssey recounts the adventures of the Greek hero Odysseus as he attempts to return home after the war. Both works are celebrated for their vivid storytelling, complex characters, and profound exploration of human nature.

Homer's influence on literature cannot be overstated. His works have been studied, adapted, and imitated for centuries, inspiring countless writers and artists throughout history. His portrayal of heroic characters struggling against fate and the gods has become a defining feature of Western literature, and his themes of love, loyalty, and the search for meaning continue to resonate with readers today. Despite the fact that little is known about the life of the man behind these great works, Homer's legacy endures, and his impact on Western culture remains immeasurable.

Here is the ultimate audiobook celebration of this great enduring artist narrated by Emmy-nominated actor and author Geoffrey Giuliano.
