The Iliad and The Odyssey + Homer and His Age (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Greek Epic Poetry, Trojan War Heroes, Odysseus's Journey, and the Homeric AgeBy Homer, Andrew Lang
Length37h 54m
About this audiobook
Bringing together The Iliad, The Odyssey, and Andrew Lang's Homer and His Age, this volume offers both the foundational epics of Greek literature and a major critical meditation on their origins, transmission, and cultural world. The collection ranges from martial tragedy and heroic rage to maritime adventure, domestic longing, divine intervention, and the fragile ethics of honor. Episodes such as the wrath of Achilles, the fall of Troy's heroes, Odysseus's wanderings, and the recognition at Ithaca stand as enduring monuments of narrative art. The works attributed to Homer emerge from an ancient oral tradition shaped by memory, performance, and communal identity, while Lang, a distinguished classicist, folklorist, and translator, represents a later scholarly effort to situate these poems within archaeology, myth, and comparative literature. Together, the epic voice and the critical voice illuminate the historical imagination of archaic Greece and the modern debates surrounding authorship, tradition, and heroic society. This volume is ideal for readers seeking a rich encounter with antiquity through both primary literature and interpretive inquiry. It invites students, scholars, and general readers alike to explore multiple modes of understanding: poetic, historical, mythic, and critical, fostering a sustained dialogue between epic creation and literary scholarship.
