Iliad By Homer (2025)

Homer's Iliad is a 15,693-line epic poem composed in dactylic hexameter that serves as a cornerstone of Western literature. It focuses on a few weeks during the tenth and final year of the decade-long Trojan War. The narrative primarily explores the consequences of the "wrath of Achilles"—a cosmic anger triggered when King Agamemnon seizes Achilles' war prize, Briseis.
