Description
Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, is at the center of Homer's epic tale of the Trojan War. The Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode of the war, a sequence of events that are both powerful and moving. The book explores the conflict between Achilles and his leader Agamemnon, as well as the besieged city of Ilium and the feud between the gods.
This Penguin Classics edition has been revised and updated by classicist D. C. H. Rieu, son of the celebrated translator E. V. Rieu. The book includes an introduction and notes by Peter V. Jones, providing authoritative context for the work. With over 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
