The Iliad
Resumen
"The Iliad" 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 devastating anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior. After a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon over honor and pride, Achilles withdraws from battle, setting off a chain of tragic events. The poem weaves together fierce combat, divine intervention by the Olympian gods, and intimate human moments, exploring themes of glory, fate, and wrath as it builds toward its climactic conclusion.
