Description
Product Description
Western civilization begins with the two greatest books of the ancient world, the Iliad and the Odyssey by the Greek poet Homer. Traditionally dated to the 8th century B.C., these epics were the most important influences in the formation of Greek culture. The Iliad was the principal textbook in the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, and the primary authority in matters of ethics and morals, civic behavior, and military tactics. The Odyssey was the original great adventure story and character study. The Iliad and the Odyssey have been enormously influential in Western literature and art, and are the perfect place to begin your study of Western culture and the Great Books. These Memoria Press editions feature the translations of Samuel Butler, which are both scholarly and easily accessible to younger students.
The Odyssey Student Guide contains Reading Notes, Comprehension Questions, Quotations, and more. The answers are contained in Teacher Manual (sold separately).

My high schooler wrote this review: “Sean Brooks does an excellent job with the videos on The Odyssey. The text is explained in an interesting way, and countless facts are provided about the locations and adventures. What I liked best is the way the videos explained how the certain parts of the story we believe to be false could, in fact, be true, like how Circe could have actually “turned” Odysseus’s men into pigs. Also nice were the comparisons and contrasts between The Iliad and The Odyssey. Definitely purchase the videos if you are going to read The Odyssey.” Well worth the money for an in-depth study.
