The Odyssey has survived nearly three thousand years because it speaks to a simple, powerful truth: sometimes the hardest battle is not the war abroad, but the long, uncertain journey back home. In this modern prose retelling, Homer's epic is presented as a continuous story rather than as verse. The language is clear and contemporary, but the structure and major episodes of the original are faithfully preserved.

Z niezgody na zastaną rzeczywistość, z buntu i fermentu, zwykle powstaje nowa, a nawet nowatorska wizja, zapłodniona przez sprzeciw wobec autorytetu i poszukiwanie indywidualnego rozwiązania. Bogini Dyskordia karmi się buntem i odwagą. Tych zaś nie brakuje autorce, Beacie Poźniak, poszukującej wciąż nowych inspiracji, w aktorstwie, malarstwie, reżyserowaniu filmów, teraz również w poezji, gdzie komentując współczesność nie waha się sięgać wstecz, do tematów kontrowersyjnych, budujących zapory między ludźmi.

Among the finest poets of ancient Greece was Hesiod, a contemporary of Homer, who lived in the eighth century B.C. It is still a matter of dispute whether Homer or Hesiod was the earlier poet, and sometimes whether they were one and the same person! At any rate, Hesiod's incredible poetry serves as a major source for our understanding of Greek mythology, farming practices, time keeping and astronomy. In and of itself, the "Works and Days" is unparalleled in its richness and beauty, easily rivaling Homer.

The terrible and long-drawn out siege of Troy, the quarrel of Achilles and Agamemnon, the interactions between Olympian Gods and humans, remains among one of the classic campaigns and the heroism and treachery of the combatants have been unmatched in song and story. It is a literal translation, but prose, and therefore so much easier to understand! This is certainly the version for those who want to know what Homer is about.

Jason and the Golden Fleece is one of the finest tales of Ancient Greece, an epic journey of adventure and trial standing beside similar stories of Perseus, Theseus and the Labours of Heracles. The finest classic account comes from Apollonius of Rhodes, the Greek poet of the 3rd century BCE and...
