Iliad & Odyssey

翻開荷馬的《伊利亞德》與《奧德賽》，踏上兩段史詩般的神話旅程。這兩部作品不僅是西方文學中最古老、最具影響力的巨作，也是至今仍能引發深刻共鳴的經典神話。

荷馬記錄了古希臘的歷史與口傳文學，並在西元前8世紀，以敘事詩的形式捕捉了這兩段史詩故事，述說神話中各路英雄與反派的冒險事蹟。從希臘聯軍與特洛伊古文明之間的慘烈戰爭，到奧德修斯驚險漫長的返鄉之旅；從眾神與女神，到海妖與求婚者……《伊利亞德》與《奧德賽》中的情節與角色，對後世無論是文學創作還是好萊塢電影的敘事方式，都產生了極其深遠的影響。

本合輯收錄：
《伊利亞德》：述說古代傳奇「特洛伊戰爭」最後階段的英雄史詩，展現特洛伊與希臘聯軍兩大宿敵之間的激烈交鋒。
《奧德賽》：特洛伊戰爭英雄奧德修斯歷經十年、歷盡滄桑的尋家之旅，沿途充滿了可怕的怪物與強大的神祇。

Embark on two epic journeys with Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey—two of the oldest and most influential works of Western literature, and powerful ancient myths that still resonate today.

Homer chronicled ancient Greek history and oral tradition, and in the 8th century BCE, he captured two epic stories told in verse that recounted the adventures of classical heroes and villains of mythology. From the devastating war between the ancient civilizations of Athens and Troy, to Odysseus’s perilous and lengthy journey home…from gods and goddesses to sirens and suitors…the events and characters in The Iliad and The Odyssey had a profound effect on how stories have been told in books and Hollywood blockbusters.

Inside this collection:
The Iliad—the saga of the last days of the legendary Trojan War of antiquity, fought between bitter rivals Troy and Athens.
