Heroes and ordinary men and women live the *Iliad*, *Odyssey*, and *Aeneid*. Aeneas searches the flames for Creusa. Hector bids goodbye to Andromache and Astyanax. Penelope tests the beggar. A slave mother struggles to keep her children. Ordinary men fall in the brutal grind of combat. Stories of leadership, loss, resilience, and homecoming. For veterans, historians, anyone who loves the epics.
