Great Historic Read
I read The Iliad & The Odyssey in school and hated doing so. Now that I am much older I can honestly say that this was a great historical read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Translation was good, except for frequent sometimes comical misspellings.
Translation was good, except for frequent sometimes comical misspellings. No attempt made to replicate Homeric meter.

Great read
Couldn't put it down. These are classic stories that never get old. Totally recommend this book for anyone that is new to Greek mythology.

Classic
I read these ancient books as part of a Great Courses lecture series which allows you to understand the books better. Unless you really understand classic literature, reading with lectures to explain is the way to go. Have fun!

A wonderful story, difficult at times.
How on earth can you review a book like this, thousands of years old and still in print. When I got to last page of the Odyssey I was so disappointed, I just wanted it to go on and on. The translation is everything if you find this one not to your taste then try a different one. But Read it.

Very good
I have always wanted to read both these classics and finally got round to it and have thoroughly enjoyed them. There are a few spelling and grammatical errors but not enough to spoil the narrative.I am however a little confused as there is nothing about the Trojan horse, the actual sacking of Troy or the death of Achillies other than brief mentions, mostly in the odyssey.

Two of the greatest books of all time
Good translation and arrangement. There are some typing errors but they do not affect the reading or comprehension. Overall a good ensemble! Much recommended.

Dramatic Story
This is a translation of a very, very old Greek poem but it is in prose. It uses the Roman names for the Gods. This edition has many printing errors.

If you love the Classics this is a must on your Kindle
It's the ultimate of Classics, it's a must have along with Shakespeare and Dickins...I can't say any more than that
