Ancient Greek Epic. Iliad. Odyssey. Theogony

«Ancient Greek Epic» — a collection of three books that mark the beginning of great European literature: wars, journeys, and the fates of heroes, gods that have defined the foundation of European literature for thousands of years.

The collection includes:

— «Iliad» — an epic about the Trojan War, honor, and the price of glory;

— «Odyssey» — the story of a great return, where victory requires intellect, resilience, and loyalty to home;

— «Theogony» — a poem by Hesiod about the origins of the gods and the structure of the world, setting the mythological context of ancient culture.

The texts are presented in the classic Russian translations by N.I. Gnedich, V.A. Zhukovsky, and V.V. Veresaev, which have become part of the domestic cultural tradition. Their language maintains the solemn scale of the epic and helps to feel the breath of antiquity — from the roar of battles to the quiet lyricism of the road and home.

The collection will be an excellent choice for high school and university students, philologists, historians, and anyone interested in mythology, the culture of Ancient Greece and Rome, and who wishes to keep the main epic works of the world in one volume in their library
