El mundo de Homero

This book invites us on a journey in which the Iliad and the Odyssey will guide us through Homer's world "from Troy first through the Turkish Aegean coast and then along the shores of the Mediterranean, following in the footsteps of Odysseus when He will fight in the Trojan War and then, after going through numerous incidents, he will return to his homeland with his family in Ithaca". John Freely, who has lived for many years in Greece and Turkey, and who has a good knowledge of recent archeological findings, does not pretend to provide us with a travel account of Homeric settings, but takes us there with the Iliad and the Odyssey in hand, in a journey in which the objective is not the landscape, but the world of Homer, with the intention of introducing us into a universe of dazzling beauty, which continues to move readers today, three thousand years of its composition.
