READ ON: For in-depth information and storyline of the book.: ________________________________________ The Iliad by Homer, published in this 1981 Penguin Classics edition, is one of the foundational works of Western literature and the earliest surviving epic poem of Greek civilisation. Composed in the late eighth or early seventh century BC, it recounts the climactic events of the Trojan War, focusing not on the whole conflict but on a few weeks in its final year. At its centre is the wrath of Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Greeks, whose quarrel with Agamemnon, commander of the Achaean forces, sets in motion a chain of events that alters the fate of both armies and determines the destiny of Troy. The poem opens with the insult that drives Achilles to withdraw from battle, leaving the Greeks vulnerable to the Trojan onslaught led by Hector, prince of Troy. As the fighting intensifies, Homer depicts the brutality of war with unflinching detail: the clash of spears and shields, the grief of families, the destruction of cities, and the relentless toll of death. Yet alongside the violence there are moments of tenderness, humanity and reflection. The Iliad is as much about honour, pride, loyalty and the bonds between men as it is about combat. The friendship between Achilles and Patroclus, the love of Hector for his wife Andromache and their infant son, and the grief of Priam, king of Troy, when he begs for the body of his slain son, are among the most moving passages in world literature. The gods of Olympus are ever-present, intervening in human affairs, taking sides, and reflecting the passions and rivalries of mortals on a divine scale. Their presence underscores the poem's vision of human life lived under the shadow of fate, where even the greatest heroes cannot escape mortality. The Iliad is not a simple celebration of war but a tragic meditation on its cost, portraying both the glory and the futility of battle. This Penguin Classics edition, part of a series that has brought authoritative translations of the world's great texts to modern readers, presents the Iliad in accessible English while preserving the grandeur and rhythm of Homer's verse. It includes introductions and notes that situate the poem in its historical and literary context, explaining its oral tradition, its influence on later Greek tragedy, and its continuing relevance to questions of heroism, suffering and the human condition. The Iliad has shaped literature for nearly three millennia, influencing poets, dramatists, novelists and thinkers from Virgil and Dante to Shakespeare, Milton and modern writers. It remains a cornerstone of classical education and a living work that speaks to readers about courage, rage, grief, reconciliation and the search for meaning in the face of death. ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.
