Homer: Things Which Are Greek 2
writer and giver of stories in songs, who had no power of seeing and was living about 2700 years back from now. It was such a long time back that no one is certain of the facts, but he is said to be the writer of two very noted stories in verse: The Iliad and The Odyssey. They are two of the oldest stories in the West.
The Iliad is about Achilles, the strongest man from Greece, and about other persons or beings in the war between Troy and Greece. It's a sad and serious story of loves, hates, fights, and deaths. Richards made it short and put into near-Basic English, as The Wrath of Achiless: The Iliad of Homer. ("Wrath" is a very angry feeling.)
The Odyssey is about Odysseus, or Ulysses, the man who had Greek military overcome Troy, and about his long journey back to his family. It' a quick-moving story like Star Wars, going over a long distance, full of love, fights, tricks, stories in the story, and very strange animals or other beings with great powers. It's the best book for anyone learning to be a maker of stories, in forms of books, motion pictures, or machine programs. Richards didn't put it into Basic or Basic-like English, but you will have a good time reading The Odyssey in any language, in verse or prose. ¶ 00:04
