Publisher's Description of Odyssey DVD
Western civilization begins with the Iliad and Odyssey. These study guides feature the prose translations of Samuel Butler, which are both scholarly and easily accessible to younger students. Our Teacher Guides have the student pages inset with the answers, and each lesson has teacher notes around the inset student pages with answers, teacher notes for each lesson, quizzes, and tests, giving the teacher all the background information needed to teach these books.
The Iliad was the principal textbook in the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, and the primary authority on matters of ethics and morals, civic behavior, and military tactics.
The Odyssey was the original great adventure story and character study.
The Iliad and the Odyssey have been enormously influential in Western literature and art, and are the perfect places to begin your study of Western Culture and the Great Books. These study guides will help bring Homers great works alive for your student.
