Iliad

The rage that forged a legend, the war that shaped the ancient world. It is the tenth year of a bloody and futile siege of the city of Troy. When Agamemnon, the commander of the Greek forces, arrogantly insults Achilles, his greatest warrior, he unleashes a storm of divine wrath and devastating consequences. Achilles, the best of the Achaeans, withdraws from battle, leaving his comrades to face certain defeat. Without their hero, the Greeks are driven back to their ships by the Trojan prince, Hector.
As the battle rages, fueled by the whims of vengeful gods, the fields before Troy run red with the blood of heroes. It is a story of fierce combat, of clashing armies, and of the personal struggles between men and gods. But The Iliad is more than a tale of war. It is a profound meditation on honor, glory, and the destructive power of pride. It is about the bonds of friendship, the love for family and homeland, and the inescapable fate that binds both mortals and immortals. Homer's epic masterpiece echoes through the centuries, a timeless and searingly human account of the cost of war and the fragile nature of life itself.
