Résumé : Homer's Iliad is the foundational epic of Western literature - a monumental poem of war, rage, honor, grief, and fate.
Set during the final year of the Trojan War, the story centers on the conflict between Achilles, the greatest warrior of the Greeks, and Agamemnon, commander of the Greek forces.
Their quarrel unleashes a chain of events that brings devastation to both armies and culminates in the fatal encounter between Achilles and Hector.
Amid the clash of weapons, the rivalries of kings, and the schemes of the gods, Homer reveals the fragility of human life and the terrible cost of glory.
With unmatched grandeur and compassion, the poem explores courage and pride, love and loss, mortality and the shadow of death.
William Cullen Bryant's beloved blank-verse translation preserves the dignity, power, and epic scope of Homer's masterpiece.
This is the English-language paperback hardcover of the classic book.
