Homer's The Iliad and The Odyssey
1998
This site is dedicated to helping students better understand Homer and his works, The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad--the story of the Trojan War--is summarized in detail, and background information is provided including critical interpretations of each main character. The Odyssey, Odysseus' twenty-year journey home following the Trojan War, is summarized and a special essay examines Odysseus as a hero. Great study guides along with links to full texts of both these works.
