Knowing All the World's Famous Novels (Part 3)

1、 Engels said that the Homeric epics and all myths are the main legacy of the Greeks' transition from the barbaric era to the civilized era. This not only reflects the inevitable historical limitations of Homeric epics in describing war, such as killings, brutal savage city slaughters, and the view of women as private property of slave owners, but also proves that Homeric epics have incomparable value in reflecting various political, economic, military, cultural, and other situations that emerged during the transition from primitive communes to slavery in early human history and culture.

2、 Plato also mentioned in "The Republic" that "Homer educated the Greeks," reflecting the early recognition of the important role of Homer's epic in Greek cultural education and inheritance.

3、 The Odyssey tells the story of the Greek hero Odysseus returning home after the end of the Trojan War.

4、 After Hector's death, the war surrounding the city of Erion continued for a long time. Later, Achilles was shot dead by Paris with an arrow, and the Greek hero Odysseus came up with a plan to build a large wooden horse with hidden ambush soldiers. The Trojans dragged the horse into the city, but the Greeks joined forces and captured the city of Erion, ending the 10-year war.
