Summary

Homer's 'Iliad' is the famous epic poem set among the tales of Troy. Its subject is the anger of the hero Achilles and its dreadful consequences for the warring Greeks and Trojans. It was composed more than 2600 years ago, but still transfixes us with its tale of loss and battle, love and revenge, guided throughout by the active presence of the gods. This book is a thrilling study of the greatest of all epic poems, by one of the world's leading classicists.
