La Odisea & La Iliada (The Odyssey & The Iliad)

The anecdote often dwells on the legendary figure of Homer, a supposed blind minstrel who went from town to town singing his great epic narratives. "The Iliad," a narrative from the era of Troy, originated from the abduction of the world's most beautiful woman, Helen, by Paris. "The Odyssey," the description of the adventures of the wise Ulysses or Odysseus on his return to Ithaca, his homeland, after the end of the Trojan War, his adventures along the way, and his reunion with the fidelity of Penelope, his wife, who had resisted the siege of ambitious suitors all those years. The truth seems to be that these songs were created over various centuries, with poets who kept adding to the story. Be that as it may, both works are of such strength that even after 25 centuries, they still amaze. Whether Homer existed or not, whoever was the author of these two epic poems has their place assured among the great authors of humanity. La anécdota suele regodearse sobre la figura legendaria de Homero, supuesto juglar ciego que iba de pueblo en pueblo cantando sus grandes narraciones épicas. La lliada, una narracion de la era de Troya, originada en el rapto que hizo Paris de la mujer más bella del mundo, Helena y La Odisea, la descripción de las aventuras del sabio Ulises u Odiseo en su vuelta a Itaca, su patria, terminada la Guerra de Troya, sus aventuras en el camino y su encuentro con la fidelidad de Penélope, su mujer, que habia del resistido todos esos años el asedio de ambiciosos pretendientes. La verdad parece ser que esos cantos fueron creados a lo largo de various siglos, con poetas que iban agregando a la historia. Pero sea como fuere, las dos obras son de una fuerza que todavia, después de 25 siglos asombra, y haya existido Homero o no, quien haya sido el autor de estos dos poemas épicos tiene su puesto asegurado entre los grandes autores de la humanidad.
