The Iliad is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek kingdoms. It focuses on a quarrel between King Agamemnon & the warrior Achilles lasting a few weeks during the last year of the war. The Odyssey focuses on the ten-year journey home of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. Many accounts of Homer's life circulated in classical antiquity, the most widespread being that he was a blind bard from Ionia, a region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. Modern scholars consider these accounts legendary. The Homeric Question - concerning by whom, when, where & under what circumstances the Iliad & Odyssey were composed - continues to be debated. Broadly speaking, modern scholarly opinion falls into two groups. One holds that most of the Iliad & (according to some) the Odyssey are the works of a single poet of genius. The other considers the Homeric poems to be the result of a process of working & reworking by many contributors, & that "Homer" is best seen as a label for an entire tradition. It is generally accepted that the poems were composed at some point around the late eighth or early seventh century BC. From antiquity until today, the influence of the Homeric epic on Western civilization has been great, inspiring many of the most famous works of literature, music, art, & film. Homeric epics were the greatest influence on ancient Greek culture & education. in Plato, Homer was simply the one who "taught Greece" Cast Alabaster Material: Cast Alabaster is a natural crushed stone that gives the feeling of marble, it's a solid material water-resistant.
