Classic Books Part 1 (Homer-Beowulf)

From <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Invitation-Classics-Masterworks-Louise-Cowan/dp/0801011566">Invitation to the Classics (Masterworks)</a> by Louise Cowan (Editor), Os Guinness (Editor)

I had to divide the book into different sections to make lists that were not so long and overwhelming. I also left out the books listed under "For Further Study" at the end of each essay. Even though many of them looked interesting, I want to read the featured books first. The versions of the books listed are the ones I found, not necessarily the ones recommended, I may change them later when I get around to revising the lists.
