La Ilíada, atribuida a Homero, es una obra fundamental de la literatura clásica griega que narra los acontecimientos de la guerra de Troya, enfocándose principalmente en la ira del héroe Aquiles y las consecuencias de sus acciones. Este poema epico, que combina un estilo elevado con un lenguaje poetico rico en metaforas y vividas descripciones, se situa en el contexto de la tradicion oral. La estructura del poema incluye un uso magistral del verso hexametro, que resuena con el ritmo de las epopeyas antiguas, permitiendo un profundo analisis de la condicion humana, el honor y la mortalidad. Homero, cuyo tiempo exacto y biografia permanecen envueltos en el misterio, es considerado el precursor de la epica griega. Su obra ha sido objeto de estudio e interpretacion a lo largo de los siglos, y su influencia se extiende a multiples disciplinas. Las tradiciones orales de su epoca, asi como la interaccion con diferentes culturas, contribuyeron a la complejidad y riqueza de La Iliada, reflejando los valores y tensiones de la antigua sociedad micenica. Recomiendo encarecidamente La Iliada a todo lector interesado en la literatura clasica y la psicologia de los personajes humanos. La profundidad de su tematica y la belleza de su lenguaje no solo ofrecen un deleite estetico, sino que tambien invitan a la reflexion sobre las guerras y la naturaleza del heroismo. Es, sin duda, una obra maestra atemporal que merece ser leida y estudiada.
La Iliada y La Odisea se consideran como las principales obras de Homero, aquélla un poco anterior a está. Algunos las tuvieron por obras de dos diferentes autores: otros, por obras colectivas que recogen composiciones de varios poetas. La personalidad de Homero es vaga y escurridiza, no hay datos suficientes sobre su persona: y las evidencias interiores de los poemas, sin duda a causa de las interpolaciones sufridas por los viejos textos, nos remiten a epocas distintas. Segun los mejores testimonios y las inferencias mas prudentes. Homero es uno a pesar de las corrupciones o adulteraciones de los poemas se lo puede situar en los años de 700 a.C.
The Iliad and the Odyssey are two epic poems written by Homer around the 9th century BC. They are two of the oldest recorded written works in history. The Iliad deals with a ten-year war between the Greeks and Trojans, called the Siege of Troy. It centers around Achilles, the great Greek hero who was dipped in the river Styx when he was young and whose only weak spot was his heel. He was killed when Apollo helped one of his enemies shoot an arrow into his heel. The Odyssey is about Odysseuss voyage from the war back home to Ithaca, which took another 10 years. Homer (around the 9th century BC) is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. Homers works, which are about fifty percent speeches, provided models in persuasive speaking and writing that were emulated throughout the ancient and medieval Greek worlds. Homer and His Age by Andrew Lang was written in 1906. Lang was highly regarded as a Homeric scholar and Homer and His Age is one of the works he contributed to this area of study. Andrew Lang (18441912) was a Scottish poet, novelist, literary critic, and contributor to the field of anthropology. He is best known as a collector of folk and fairy tales. The Andrew
