About this book

"The Iliad" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic poem composed around the late 8th or early 7th century BC. Set during the final weeks of the ten-year Trojan War, it follows the devastating anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, sparked by a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. As pride and wrath collide, the conflict escalates from personal dispute to battlefield tragedy, culminating in the death of Troy's champion, Hector. Gods intervene, heroes clash, and the fate of nations hangs in the balance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
