Brazilian promotion of Homer's epics

Overview

In July 2026, the cultural group Cia Ilíadahomero announced plans to stage the full texts of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey on Brazilian stages, marking a new effort to bring the ancient epics to live audiences in Brazil.

By early August 2026, Brasil Paralelo expanded the literary push by launching a premium bilingual “table book” edition of the Odyssey. The large‑format hard‑cover presents the Greek text alongside a Portuguese translation by Odorico Mendes, includes original illustrations, a digital version, and a companion course of 24 lessons taught by professor Clístenes Hafner Fernandes. The release underscores a broader campaign to revive interest in the Epic Cycle of the Trojan War within Brazil.

By late August 2026, Brasil Paralelo announced it would discontinue sales of this luxury edition of Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’.
