The Odyssey Journey
Yeah, this the another "acient posting" by me. Anyone loves novel? I'm mean a really classic novel. Odyssey is a book about Greek Mythology, full of love, revenge, religion and phylosophy that hide behind stories and myths. It had been written by Homer, a legendary poet. Find more bout Homer at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer.
If you don't wanna working out your butt looking for Odyssey in the nearest library or bookstore, please go to this site http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/odyssey.html
it is very easy to access the full version of tranlated Odyssey by Samuel Butler. ( I love to have a hardcopy version rather then a softcopy! it's really messy when you wanna read the softcopy on your laptop screen while you're lying on your bed.. hehe. So, just print it out!)
Did you ever heard about the Trojan war? and there are a bunch of versions that confuse me everytime i starring at their pages. but in Odyssey, it's the ORIGINAL story!
yeah! the another one is... there are a lot of names of gods, goddess, nymph, people. If you wish to find their real geneology, please go to http://www.webexhibits.org/greekgods/
You will realize how big their family are! (confusing and mistery!). P/s: it's a really nice website!
Wow! Greek Mythology is such a perfect stories! Their gods and Goddess are too "Human". Have a worth reading!
Syam's words: I think, i'm going crazy when starring at the acient stories pages! I can be in a bookstore all day long just for a nonsense story! but it amuse me! and satified for my bedtime story! (Do you still need a girl for your nite?)
