About this audiobook
The Batrachomyomachia or Battle of the Frogs and Mice is a comic epic commonly attributed to Homer.
The Mouse-Prince stops by the shore of a lake to drink, and encounters the Frog King. The Frog offers to show the Mouse his kingdom, on the other side of the lake, and the Mouse agrees. The Prince climbs onto the Frog King's back. In the middle of the lake, they are confronted by a water snake. The Frog dives, forgetting about the Mouse, who cannot swim, and the Prince drowns.
On the bank, another Mouse witnesses the scene, and informs the other Mice, who arm themselves for battle. A battle ensues, and the Mice prevail.
Homer
Although recognized as one of the greatest ancient Greek poets, the life and figure of Homer remains shrouded in mystery. Credited with the authorship of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, Homer, if he existed, is believed to have lived during the ninth century BC, and has been identified variously as a Babylonian, an Ithacan, or an Ionian. Regardless of his citizenship, Homer’s poems and speeches played a key role in shaping Greek culture, and Homeric studies remains one of the oldest continuous areas of scholarship, reaching from antiquity through to modern times.
