HOMER
Homer, the ancient Greek poet, created The Iliad and The Odyssey, two epic tales that have shaped the way we tell stories. The Iliad covers the Trojan War and the fates of its heroes, while The Odyssey chronicles the long, winding journey of Odysseus. Despite being written thousands of years ago, these works remain central to our understanding of heroism and adventure.

The Iliad is Homer’s exploration of the Trojan War, where heroic feats and tragic fates unfold over ten tumultuous years. At its heart is Achilles, the ultimate warrior with a major chip on his shoulder, whose anger impacts the fate of both sides in the conflict. With its mix of epic battles and larger-than-life characters, this story is proof that even the mightiest heroes have their moments of weakness.

"The Odyssey" by Homer is the story of Odysseus, a hero who spends ten years trying to get home after the Trojan War, facing obstacles like vengeful gods, man-eating monsters, and tricky sorceresses. Meanwhile, his wife Penelope holds things down at home, cleverly dodging suitors who assume Odysseus won’t make it back. It’s a tale of adventure, resilience, and what happens when your trip home takes way longer than planned.
