But Poseidon, god of oceans, doesn't want him to make it back across the wine-dark sea to his wife, Penelope, son, Telemachus, and their high-roofed home at Ithaca. The story is told in easy-going, beautiful poetry; the characters speak naturally, the action happens briskly. Even the gods come across as real people, despite the divine powers they exercise constantly. Both works have been hailed by scholars and the public for the powerful language that brings clashing, pulsing life to these ancient masterpieces. 1474309 600 The Iliad and The Odyssey (Boxed Set) total:1798|5:711|4:553|3:394|2:110|1:30| 1798 7199 2379 73 5 1 false false Tue Sep 04 09:32:14 -0700 2007 Wed Sep 12 15:49:45 -0700 2007 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Jan 29 16:41:02 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 17:37:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed May 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 22:33:34 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 22:54:17 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue May 05 06:31:30 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 06:43:59 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sun Dec 30 08:35:43 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 08:35:43 -0800 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 1999 Sat Aug 04 07:37:27 -0700 2007 Sat Aug 04 07:37:27 -0700 2007
