Book Description:
The Iliad is Homer’s epic tale of war, wrath, and heroism, set during the final weeks of the Trojan War. At its heart is the fierce conflict between Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, and Agamemnon, the leader of the Achaean army — a clash that threatens to doom their cause. As gods and mortals alike take sides, the battlefield becomes a stage for glory, vengeance, and tragedy.
With vivid depictions of combat, complex characters, and profound themes of honor, fate, and mortality, The Iliad captures the brutal beauty of ancient warfare and the human cost of pride and rage. A cornerstone of classical literature, it continues to resonate as a timeless exploration of conflict and the warrior’s spirit.
