The Iliad in Classical Attic; sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.
The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, the other work ascribed to Homer. The poem is fundamental to the modern Western canon, and is the second oldest extant work of Western literature, the Iliad being the oldest. Scholars believe it was composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia.

This is The Iliad and the Odyssey of Homer, retold by Alfred J. Church, illustrated by Eugene Karlin, with an afterword by Clifton Fadiman, The MacMillan Company, fourth printing, 1967. Sorry, no ISBN. I'm getting specific here because I love the physical presence of this book.I was looking for a version to read with my ten year old son, so the choice is colored by a specific need. The prose in this retelling is just right for us, now. It's just archaic enough to be a bit of a stretch and a good, strong flavor, and it suits the content of the tale. Here's a short sample:
"And indeed, Apollo was rousing them. The cousin of King Rhesus awoke and, seeing the place of the horses empty, cried out, calling the king. So all the camp was roused. But Diomed and Ulysses mounted the horses and rode to the camp of the Greeks. Right glad were their comrades to see them and to hear the tale of what they had done."
The physical book is a pleasure to hold and regard. Karlin provides twenty-one fine line drawings.

Iliad And Odyssey By Homer Illustrated edition by Homer Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The heritage press editions of the Iliad and Odyssey are translated by Alexander Pope. How much does a translator owe to the word, and how much to the spirit of the text? This is a readers preference. Popes work is more to the spirit and not a word for word translation. I prefer spirit.
Disappointing. The cover was in very poor condition.
Excellent
