Book Description:
The Iliad is Homer’s immortal epic of the Trojan War — a sweeping, heroic tale of rage, glory, and the price of pride. Set during the final weeks of the siege of Troy, the story centers on Achilles, the greatest of the Greek warriors, whose wrath and withdrawal from battle threaten to alter the fate of the war itself.
As gods and mortals clash on the battlefield, The Iliad explores timeless themes of honor, revenge, mortality, and the tragic beauty of human struggle. With vivid imagery and poetic grandeur, Homer captures both the brutality and nobility of war in one of the most enduring works of ancient literature.
A foundational text of Western civilization, The Iliad continues to inspire with its powerful vision of heroism, destiny, and the human condition.
