Historia grega, que já derivou varios livros, vale a pena ler bem sucinta e direta.
A cidade de Troia que Homero descreve aqui, todos achavam que era uma lenda até encontrarem ruinas dela na decada de 50. Por isso ainda tem esperança pela cidade de Atlântida já que também a lenda vem de uma história grega.

So far I've only read The Odyssey in this version, and it was spectacular. Chapman's verse brings the story to life in a completely new and glorious way. Highly recommended for anyone who's a fan of Homer or Elizabethan verse.
