这一套漂亮的荷马史诗——由吉莲·克罗斯(Gillian Cross)有力地复述出来，并由尼尔·帕克(Neil Packer)醒目地展示出来——属于每个读者的书架。

史诗和惊险，荷马的两个古老的经典已被重访无数次。吉莲·克罗斯和尼尔·帕克的《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的精装版本为荷马的收藏家和读者们奠定了基础，他们还没有认识奥德修斯、阿基里斯或赫克托耳。描述他们的行为，以及他们所祈求的神的行为，是生动的，风格的插图，让人联想到希腊的陶器，给这些大的画卷增加了额外的真实性和吸引力。从特洛伊城墙外的紧张战斗，到奥德修斯踏上回家之路的奇异的跨现实主义的十年，这些大胆的荷马故事的重新构思被简单而又完整地讲述了——这对于那些热衷于图像的复述和神话迷的人来说是美好的。

This handsome boxed set of Homer’s epics — powerfully retold by Gillian Cross and strikingly illustrated by Neil Packer — belongs on every reader’s bookshelf.

Epic and thrilling, Homer’s two age-old classics have been revisited countless times. Gillian Cross and Neil Packer’s exquisite versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey make up an essential set for both Homer collectors and readers who have not yet made the acquaintance of Odysseus, Achilles, or Hector. Depicting their actions, and those of the gods they invoke, are vivid, stylistic illustrations reminiscent of Greek pottery, giving these large-format volumes an extra measure of authenticity and appeal. From the raging battles outside the walls of Troy to the strangely surreal ten years it takes Odysseus to journey home, these bold re-envisionings of Homer’s stories are told with simplicity and style — perfect for fans of graphic retellings and mythology enthusiasts alike.
