It’s a very nice book set. The timeless tales of Homer modernize with the upcoming movie art. This is one that I’m really looking forward to.

Translational Errors
These books are OK, but the one problem I have, is that some of the names have been changed, like Odysseus is Ulysses, Zeus is Jove, and small translation differences. The translator used Roman gods instead of the Greek ones but other than that, great books.

Nice books of a Greatest Epic!!
Writing a review after completing the first part - The Iliad. The translation is of samuel butler. Both the books are of around 350 pages. The quality of pages and printing is very good. Overall a great experience.

Nice to tick off the bucket list but hardly an entertaining read
The package and the delivery were brilliant and took ;less than 24 hours. As a literary work, I’m finding The Illiad very disappointing. It’s a pretty short novel but the writer seemed to think it important to provide details of every one of the thousands ships captains and their personal relationships. The emphasis on the actions of the gods seems to be almost heartfelt
