Homer

Homer — 2 titles in the rankings. They average 7.8 — level with the catalogue as a whole. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note The two founding epics of Greek literature: the Iliad, a few weeks of the Trojan War built around the anger of Achilles, and the Odyssey, Odysseus’s long journey home. The Odyssey is the easier start and far more read; the Iliad rates slightly higher. The translation matters more than the edition: Emily Wilson and Robert Fagles are readable modern choices.
