Note: This is the colour collector edition of the black and white original. The poems of the epic era have always been a point of interest for many that are involved or studying the spiritual or occult. What will often happen is that many of these current groups will be referring back to these ancient epics in a way that makes these old tales worth studying in order to get a better understanding of what these groups believe. The gods and “demons” that are often mentioned in these old texts are very much real to these individuals and need to be taken seriously. This edition is designed to make the study of these ancient poems easier. While this volume includes the Pope and Cowper translations of the Iliad and Odyssey, there are many points of references that can be made for anyone looking deeper into the spiritual side of not just ancient Greece, but many groups today that focus their intentions and beliefs around these ancient stories.
