A very great Iliad... concerns the creation of a nation.
Raymond Queneau
Fiction has consisted either of placing imaginary characters in a true story, which is the Iliad, or of presenting the story of an individual as having a general historical value, which is the Odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
It doesn't seem to me that anyone has discovered much that's new since the Iliad or the Odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
One can easily classify all works of fiction either as descendants of the Iliad or of the Odyssey.
Raymond Queneau
The author of the Iliad is either Homer or, if not Homer, somebody else of the same name.
Aldous Huxley
The Iliad is the private lives of people thrown into disorder by history.
Raymond Queneau
The Odyssey is, indeed, one of the greatest of all stories, it is the original romance of the West; but the Iliad, though a magnificent poem, is not much of a story.
George Saintsbury
