Story
Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

Knowledge found,
Literature I feel is a good use of the sands of my hour glass. Some year's ago I had the privilege to find myself accommodated in the basement of a NHS building. I like to read and had heard Anne Rice's literature is held in high regard. The floor I was on had a small library yet in it I found this gem of a vampire novel. Taken from the confines of my situation to the culture of ancient Rome, as a state educated man of low social economic station I found in this novel knowledge that opened my mind to information on how imperial culture functioned. The idea that a class subservient in society is respected for the skills and services they are capable of is only a small part of the story however it has brought me back to this book a number of time's. The story telling is both intelligent and first class I recommend this book.
