One of the greatest adventure tales in history, The Odyssey - Odysseus' journey home after The Trojan War - is still a must-read for young and old alike. A stunning gift edition of the age-old tale of Odysseus and his journey. This epic poem by Homer, believed to have been written between the eighth and ninth centuries BC, continues to be essential reading for young and old alike. The Odyssey follows the Greek hero Odysseus on a ten-year journey back to his home in Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War.

Especificaciones del producto

Homero

Escrito por Homero

Según la tradición, el poeta griego Homero (ss. IX-VIII a. de C., aproximadamente) fue el autor de la Ilíada y de la Odisea, por lo que es considerado uno de los escritores más influyentes de todos los tiempos. Algunos críticos modernos, sin embargo, mantienen que Homero no fue el auténtico creador de estas obras, sino que se limitó a compilar y unificar una gran cantidad de relatos orales que él mismo recitaba. Sea como fuere, ambos poemas se convirtieron en la base de la educación y cultura griega en la época clásica, así como de la literatura occidental moderna.
