The Iliad, set 9 years into the Trojan War, tells the story of the wrath of Achilles. The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseus as he wearily travels home from the war. The two epics provide the basis of Greek education and culture in the classical age. They have long remained among the most significant poems of European tradition.
I just finished listening to this audiobook. I enjoyed listening to these plays. I think these Greek myths are very interesting. The translation used in these plays was easy to understand. I never felt confused about what was going on in the story. If I had to choose which play I liked better, I would say that The Odyssey was my favorite because it had more adventure and less war so it was more fun. The Iliad is more about war.
