| 1. |  | Aristotle's Ethics (SparkNotes Literature Guide)
from SparkNotes
Price: $5.95
Customer Review:
I write this to convince anyone who, like me, lived a good chunk of their life without investigating this book, that it's time to get a copy and carve out a few hours. Civilizations have ordered themselves around concepts like the "Golden Mean," that every ethical virtue involves finding a balance... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
"And you can also commit an injustice by doing nothing." -- Marcus Aurelius, from Meditations
My sister loves this book, but I was never able to get into it until I found this translation. Marcus Aurelius wrote this for his own usage - it was never intended for publication, much less being seen... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 4. |  | The Iliad
from Viking Adult
Price: $26.40
Customer Review:
Though I have read and I teach The Odyssey, it was good to read The Iliad in order to get more background about the Trojan War. This book is definitely not for the faint-of-heart and Homer's war details are very graphic and grotesque.
However, the theme of honor is timeless and I really got... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Odyssey
from Viking Adult
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
The Odyssey is one of my favorite classics and it is one of my favorite units to teach. Odysseus' journey is aided and hindered by the gods and goddesses, and it is interesting to see how they work for and against him in order for him to return home. I cannot imagine being away from home for twenty... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. | ![]() | Heart of Darkness (Cyber Classics)
from New Promise Inc
Customer Review:
Joseph Conrad is an amazing writer; he uses the English language of the late 19th and early 20th centuries beautifully, he describes the colonial world at its apogee, he tells engrossing stories but even his seemingly potboiler plots (such as The Secret Sharer) raise disturbingly serious moral... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Penguin Classics
Price: $8.80
Customer Review:
I try to reread Sophocles every few years, both because I enjoy him and because I find him a moral tonic. Since I can only haltingly stumble through his Greek, I always read translations, and I read a different translation each time.
When one reads a translated literary work, one is reading a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Price: $19.20
Customer Review:
If Herodotus is the Father of History, Thucydides is the first truly great historian. Building upon the foundation laid by his predecessor, Thucydides refines and sharpens the art of history into what it should have been all along. He is one of a few ancient historians whose reputation has almost... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | Iliad and Odyssey boxed set
from Penguin Classics
Price: $20.13
Customer Review:
This book is an excellent translation. Through this set, I have come to trust Robert Fagles and his translations. Although it is written in classical language, and thus may be hard for some readers to understand, I thoroughly enjoyed reading these classic pieces of Greek literature and mythology.more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $64.76
Customer Review:
I have a great passion for Greek and Roman mythology. This came about because of my involvment in the Christian Church for ten years. After having lost my faith due to certain cosmological facts that I couldn't reconcile with Scripture, I left Christianity. However I never lost my love for theology,... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
