L'Iliade by Homer
"L'Iliade" 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 explosive rage of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, after a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. The narrative weaves between brutal battlefield clashes and intimate human moments, tracing events from Achilles's withdrawal from combat to the death of Trojan prince Hector.
Gods intervene, heroes clash, and fate unfolds in this foundational work of European literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
