The Iliad centres on the anger of Achilles during the Trojan War and explores heroism, honour, mortality and the cost of conflict. The Odyssey follows Odysseus on his long journey home to Ithaca, where he faces monsters, enchantment and divine interference while Penelope resists unwanted suitors. Together the poems shaped Western ideas of epic storytelling, war, adventure and the heroic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216754753875,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421264658771,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/iliad-odyssey-limited-edition-folio-society-2788","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
