The Odyssey is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. Rendered here into English Prose and Translated by Samuel Butler. 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 first. It is believed to have been composed near the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, the Greek coastal region of Anatolia. The Odyssey is the story of survival and reconciliation following the ten-year battle with Troy. Where Achilles was defined by warrior brutality, Odysseus, King of Ithaca, is defined by his intelligence and wit. This epic poem follows Odysseus on his adventures as he struggles—against the threats of sea monsters and the temptation of the sirens’ song—to be reunited with his son Telemachus, his faithful, clever queen Penelope, and their kingdom.

Manche Wünsche sollten vielleicht nicht unbedingt wahr werden ... Ein Held, dachte ich, während ich den Vibrator anstellte. Ich will einen Helden. Einen Herkules, der gerade die neunköpfige Hydra erschlagen hat, oder auch Achilles, frisch vom trojanischen Schlachtfeld … Wohlige Wärme stieg in mir auf. Oh ja, ein echter Held, der in mein Schlafzimmer eindringen und mich küssen würde, zärtlich und stürmisch zugleich … Oh, wie feucht ich sein würde und bereit … „Nimm mich, ruhmreicher Eroberer“, hauchte ich in Gedanken ... „Was ist das hier für ein seltsamer Ort?“ Ich riss die Augen auf und starrte den fremden, riesigen und furchtbar dreckigen Kerl an, der eine Art Lendenschurz trug und mit unglaublich schlammigen Stiefeln auf meinem roten, sorgsam gepflegten Hochflor-Teppich stand.

The Iliad is an epic poem in dactylic hexameters by Poet Homer. Rendered here into English Prose and Translated by Samuel Butler. 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. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. The glory and horror of war pulse through this epic poem about the thousand ships launched in battle after the Trojan prince Paris abducts the beautiful Helen from her husband Menelaus, the King of Sparta. Through exquisite language Homer tells of capricious Greek gods and goddesses, fealty and honor between friends, and the terror of war. [more]
