from Viking Adult
Price: $14.50

Customer Review:
The Iliad's Trojan War has always been portrayed as a war unlike any other war. A war full of opportunities for glory, bravery, loyalty, a personal fulfillment of destiny... But Caroline Alexander, with deft scholarship, shows that there has been a misreading of the Iliad, purposefully, that in the... more info

2.The OdysseyThe Odyssey
from Viking Adult
Price: $11.98

Customer Review:
I am not going to join in the debate on translation. I read the Fitzgerald a long time ago and enjoyed it very much. I just finished reading Fagles' translation and was completely enthralled. Do not listen to anyone who tells you that one translation is closer to Homer (in some way which they rarely... more info

3.The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus: And a Selection from the Letters of Marcus and Fronto (Oxford World s Classics)The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus: And a Selection from the Letters of Marcus and Fronto (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $2.64

Customer Review:
What makes Meditations an important book is that it provides the opportunity to discuss what it is to be human, to have a soul, to live a good life with one of the most remarkable men in history.

Customer Review:
I bought this for my English 12 classes several years ago. We do not use the full epic so I did not use it. I gave it to another teacher who used it and said it was good.

6.[no image]The Divine Comedy (Cyber Classics)
from New Promise Inc
Price: $22.95

Customer Review:
Long ago, I slogged through a translation of THE INFERNO by a translator I don't recall. It was interesting, but the language felt a bit like the muck in the Third Ring. Then I picked up Ciardi's rendering of THE PURGATORIO, and my eyes opened. Here was a vivid, living presence taking me through... more info

Nicely packaged hardcover double book set, promptly delivered.
This is a great translation. Has a long introduction giving historical context. Not intimidating for the first-timer. Although I did my own research ahead of time regarding the translator and the quality of the translation, it... more info

8.Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and HeroesMythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes
from Grand Central Publishing
Price: $3.60

Customer Review:
A wonderful, summarized account of Greek and Roman mythology. Hamilton takes a more serious note than others just out to tell the stories, but fortunately never goes out on an intellectual limb to disect all meanings. Rather she handles the mythology professionally while still obviously revelling in... more info
