The Odyssey is one of two major epics of ancient Greek literature attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest surviving works of literature and remains popular with modern audiences. Like the Iliad, the Odyssey is divided into 24 books.
It follows the heroic king of Ithaca, Odysseus, also known by the Latin variant Ulysses, and his homecoming journey after the ten-year long Trojan War. His journey from Troy to Ithaca lasts an additional ten years, during which time he encounters many perils and all of his crewmates are killed. In Odysseus's long absence, he is presumed dead, leaving his wife Penelope and son Telemachus to contend with a group of unruly suitors competing for Penelope's hand in marriage.
The Batrachomyomachia or Battle of the Frogs and Mice is a comic epic, or a parody of the Iliad. Although its date and authorship are uncertain, it belongs to the classical period, as it was known to Plutarch.
William Cowper (26 November [O.S. 15 November] 1731 – 25 April 1800) was an English poet and Anglican hymnwriter.
