Historia Calamitatum	45K Bytes	Peter Abelard (1079-1142): was one of the great intellectuals of the 12th century, with especial importance in the field of logic. The Historia Calamitatum, although in the literary form of a letter, is a sort of autobiography, with distinct echoes of Augustine's Confessions.
Homer's The Iliad & The Odyssey	523K Bytes	Homer (between 8 century B.C.E and 12 century B.C.E?) : The identity of Homer is not accurately known. His works do reflect "Greek Thought". This would be a help for bible students who are studying Greek influence during the time of Jesus Christ (Hellenization). This will help to understand the types of ideas the early church had to contend with. The Iliad is a powerful, beautiful, and awe-inspiring work of ancient Greece. It combines the horridness and sometimes mundaneness of war into a epic poem filled with art, illustrious descriptions, and a myriad of wonderful literary images. The Odyssey is a magnificient piece of literature that we find absolutely spectacular in the fact of its potential for helping us understand pre-history of many ancient cultures, and because of the fact that it is so well written and perhaps one of the first "books" (epics) ever written down.
