nemafakei Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Thorup, are you a hermit?The Odyssey and the Iliad are the first examples of western literature. They are the probably the most famous stories in the western world, and they revolve around the semimythical Trojan War, begun by Paris as he seized Helen of Sparta from Menelaus and took her back to Troy with him.
