Thanks for your post.

If you want or need a professional narration of these classics at the cheapest possible price, this deal by Downpour would be hard to beat.

Just a cautionary note, however . . . . the translation of each are older ones. It's my experience that most of the time the older translations (as well as other writers, and speakers) generally are harder to follow than the more recent translations. Call me an uncultured bumpkin, but it hard enough for modern renditions of the Iliad and Odyssey to hold my attention.

Too, I suggest that you take advantage of the "listen" feature on the webpage for the two books. I took a listen and found that I, personally, do not care for the narrator (Anthony Heald); of course YMMV.
