The oldest extant works of Western literature, Homer' s The Iliad and The Odyssey are an important part of the Greek culture.

The Iliad gives a detailed poetic description of the war of Troy and expounds the battle and the events during the weeks of quarrels between King Agamemnon and warrior Achilles.

The Odyssey expounds Homer' s energetic vision of everyman' s journey through life.

It recounts the tale of Ulysses' ‘ nostros' - journey back home, after the ten-year-long Trojan War and the fall of the city of Troy.
