About This Novel
The entire poem "Iliad" is divided into 24 volumes and 15,693 lines. It mainly tells the story of the Greek coalition's siege of Troy, a city in Asia Minor. It centers on the quarrel between the Greek coalition commander Agamemnon and the Greek hero Achilles, and focuses on what happened fifty days before the end of the war. The Greek hero Achilles refused to fight in anger because he had a female prisoner taken by his commander Agamemnon, and the Greek coalition suffered a setback. After his friend Patroclus died in battle, Achilles went into battle again and finally killed the Trojan general Hector, turning defeat into victory for the Greek coalition. The Odyssey consists of 24 volumes and 12,110 lines. It tells the story of Odysseus, the hero of the Greek coalition and King of Ithaca, who drifted on the sea for ten years after the Trojan War. After going through hardships and dangers, he finally returned to his homeland and reunited with his wife.
