Publisher's Synopsis
This book contains retellings in today's English of these ancient epic poems:
Homer's Iliad
Quintus of Smyrna's Posthomerica
Homer's Odyssey
Virgil's Aeneid
In these retellings, as in all my retellings, I have tried to make the work of literature accessible to modern readers who may lack the knowledge about mythology, religion, and history that the literary work's contemporary audience had.
