A SEVEN letter Greek word for Homer's history of the Siege of Troy

ulysses?

[spacechimp]

Oh no, the Odyssey, in which Ulysses was a character.

[spacechimp]

Ulysses is also an expression much loved by vengeful farmers with regional accents.

Odyssey

[rojash]

Sorry Spacechimp - I swear that when I started typing your second answer was not there!

[Lonnie]

Can't be Odyssey, that was after the seige, and only about Odysseus.

[Narolines]

Lonnie's right - The Odyssey is the story of Odysseus's wanderings on his way home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. Homer's only account of the Trojan War ( and hence the siege) is The Iliad - which ain't 7 letters. Where did the question come from? Maybe the questioner has some wires crossed....?

[Narolines]

Spacechimp, I thought that was "Get orf moy laaand....."

[rojash]

Well, first I was going to say Iliad, but that's only 5 letters

[spacechimp]

I think they'll mean odyssey to be quite honest.

And no, it's "you'll a sees!"

[Fibonacci]

I think the greek word for iliad may be
iliados

[Octavius]

Fibonacci is right, although in Ancient Greek it was ilias

[Narolines]

Well done, Fibonacci - I should have thought of that as I'm actually learning modern Greek! I should also have read the question more carefully......:-)
