Dating to the ninth century BC, Homer's timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace. Please note: This audiobook is in Russian.

The Odyssey is the second - the Iliad being the first - masterpiece by Homer. The story of a long journey by the king of Ithaca, Odysseus, as he returns home after the Trojan War has been frequently published, staged, and filmed. This audio performance of the classic epic poem is comparable to the ancient method of travelling artists who sang their poems in hexameter.

It's 1943 and the Americans and Japanese are fighting a deadly war in the hot, jungle-covered volcanic islands of the South Pacific. The outcome is in doubt and a terrible blow has fallen on American morale. Lieutenant David Armistead, a Marine Corps hero and cousin of the President of the United States, is missing and some say he's gone over to the enemy. Coast Guard Captain Josh Thurlow and his ragtag crew are given the assignment to find Armistead, though not necessarily to bring him back alive.

Los principales personajes de la obra principal de Homero - Alquiles, Paris, Menelao, Agamenón, Héctor - han quedado inmortalizados a través de este grandioso drama épico, uno de los más impresionantes que se han escrito jamás. Aquiles, guerrero formidable de supuesta inmortalidad, se enfada con Agamenón, el rey aqueo, quien le quita una esclava y por eso deja de luchar. Aquiles le ruega a Zeus que los aqueos pierdan y así los troyanos comienzan a hostigarlos.

Homers "Odyssee" - Ein Weltgedicht: Im späten 8. Jahrhundert niedergeschrieben, gehört es zu den ältesten und einflussreichsten Werken der abendländischen Literatur. Das Versepos erzählt die Irrfahrten des griechischen Helden Odysseus, der um Troja gekämpft hat und durch den Fluch des Poseidon an der Rückkehr nach Ithaka gehindert wird. Es ist die Geschichte einer Heimkehr, die Geschichte eines Mannes, der trotz ständiger Bedrohungen und Verlockungen sein Ziel nicht aus den Augen verliert. Und es ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die zwanzig Jahre auf ihren Mann warten muss.

Homers abenteuerliche Geschichte über die Irrfahrten des mutigen und listigen Helden Odysseus ist über 3000 Jahre alt. Aber noch heute ist es spannend zu hören, ob der tapfere Grieche im Kampf gegen Riesen und Menschenfresser bestehen kann. Ob es ihm gelingt, sich dem Zauber der schönen Kirke zu entziehen?

El relato que hace Homero de las aventuras de Odiseo en su camino de regreso desde Troya hasta su patria, Ítaca, ha sido desde siempre una mina inagotable de motivos e imágenes para escritores y artistas.

Many of us are familiar with the epic stories and legends of the classical world. This anthology, the only one of its kind on audiobook, gives an insight into a more lyrical and tender aspect of Greek and Roman literature.

Crescent is a crowhopper - a genetically modified mercenary programmed for ruthless warfare. When she’s taken prisoner by Crater Trueblood instead of being killed in battle, she thinks it’s a disaster. Crater is weary of war. He’s a miner, not a soldier.

Das älteste Werk der abendländischen Literatur, das die Endphase des zehnjährigen Kampfes um Troja schildert - neu zu entdecken in dieser Lesung von Rolf Boysen aus dem Residenztheater in München.

Frederick Lazarus Light's resolve to write a greater Iliad in English than Homer composed in Greek is manifest. This translation impersonates Homeric Greek. It runs with Achilleus and like man-shattering Hector in the shock of arms is resolutely sharp. As unrelenting as sublimity, not yielding lyrically, unprosaically vindicating Homer's vision, the brightest labor has been attempted and is brought over as a consummate attempt.
