A new modern reprint of a 1950 classic by Homer.

L'Iliade

The Iliad and the Odyssey are attributed to the poet Homer and are the earliest surviving works of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poems has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. In the Iliad it is the tenth year of the Trojan War. The Greek allies have laid siege to the city of Troy, but the leaders of the Greek factions are beginning to turn on one another. When Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, angers Achilles, leader of the Myrmidons, the gods begin to intervene more directly in the conflict, and the war becomes even more dangerous for the heroes of Greece and Troy. In the Odyssey, Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died.

Iliad And Odyssey

This poem mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses, as he was known in Roman myths) and his long journey home following the fall of Troy. It takes Odysseus ten years to reach Ithaca after the ten-year Trojan War.[2] In his absence, it is assumed he has died, and his wife Penelope and son Telemachus must deal with a group of unruly suitors, called Proci, competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.

L'Odyssée

« Ô muse, conte-moi l’aventure de l’Inventif :celui qui pilla Troie, qui pendant des années erra,voyant beaucoup de villes, découvrant beaucoup d’usages,souffrant beaucoup d’angoisse dans son âme sur la merpour défendre sa vie et le retour de ses marinssans en pouvoir sauver un seul, quoi qu’il en eût :par leur propre fureur ils furent perdus en effet,ces enfants qui touchèrent aux troupeaux du dieu d’En Haut,le Soleil qui leur prit le bonheur du retour…À nous aussi, Fille de Zeus, conte un peu ces exploits ! »Ainsi s’ouvre le premier des vingt-quatre chants de L’Odyssée – mais faut-il présenter ce « très vieux poème » ? La superbe traduction versifiée de Philippe Jaccottet fait revivre l’épopée d’Homère, qui vient « à son lecteur ou, mieux peut-être, à son auditeur un peu comme viennent à la rencontre du voyageur ces statues ou ces colonnes lumineuses dans l’air cristallin de la Grèce… ».D’après la tradition antique, Homère, l’aède aveugle, aurait vécu au IXe siècle avant notre ère et serait l’auteur de cette épopée universellement connue, composée après L’Iliade.

Odysseus has been away from Ithaca, the Greek city-state under his rule, for ten years while fighting in the Trojan War. After the fall of Troy, Odysseus begins the long journey home to his wife and son; however, his journey is plagued by misfortune as the gods feud over his fate, leaving the Ithacans to believe that he has died. The Odyssey is attributed to the poet Homer and, after its companion poem the Iliad, is the second-oldest surviving work of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poem has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. Actor Sean Bean took on the role of Odysseus in the 2004 film Troy, which depicted the events directly leading up to the voyage of the Odyssey.

Odyssey

Gripping listeners and readers for more than 2,700 years, 'The Iliad' is the story of the Trojan War and the rage of Achilles. Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic. If 'The Iliad' is the world's greatest war story, then 'The Odyssey' is literature's greatest evocation of every man's journey through life. Here again, Fagles has performed the translator's task magnificently, giving us an Odyssey to read aloud, to savor, and to treasure for its sheer lyrical mastery. Each volume contains a superb introduction with textual and critical commentary by renowned classicist Bernard Knox.

L'Iliade et l'Odyssée

La guerre de Troie s'éternise. Pâris le Troyen a ravi Hélène a son époux Ménélas et les Grecs s'acharnent à venger l'honneur de ce dernier. En abandonnant le combat, le bouillant Achille, furieux après le rapt de sa captive bien-aimée Briséis par le roi Priam, compromet la victoire de son camp. Rien ne saurait apaiser sa colère, hormis la mort héroïque de son ami Patrocle qui le ramène à la. raison et le fait enfin sortir de sa tente... Les hommes s'épuisent en vaines querelles, guerres, trahisons et massacres. Les dieux et les déesses, qui en font autant, disposent de leurs destinées. Huit siècles avant notre ère, un poète de génie légendaire nommé Homère, le premier magicien du verbe, chante la chanson épique de leurs exploits.

While Homer's existence as a historical person is still a topic of debate, the writings attributed to the name have made their mark not only on Greek history and literature, but upon western civilization itself. Homer's epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, laid the foundation upon which Ancient Greece developed not only its culture, but its societal values, religious beliefs, and practice of warfare as well.
