The Iliad

Product Description

High on Olympus, the gods look down on the city of Troy where a bitter and bloody war drags on, and a quarrel rages between a legendary warrior and his commander. Greek ships decay, men languish, exhausted, and behind the walls of Troy a desperate people awaits the next turn of fate. This is the Iliad: an ancient story of enduring power; a panorama of human lives locked in a heroic struggle; a tale of the devastation, waste and pity of war.
