Publisher's Synopsis
Travel back in time to ancient Greece, a cradle of civilization where philosophers pondered the cosmos, artists sculpted masterpieces, and poets like Homer wove tales that have endured for centuries. It was in this vibrant and intellectually fertile era that Homer's "Iliad" took root.
At the heart of this epic lies the Trojan War, a real historical conflict that assumed mythic proportions. The war, fought between the city of Troy and the Greeks, stands as a testament to both the valor of its warriors and the capriciousness of the gods who intervened in human affairs. Through the "Iliad," we glimpse not only the heroism and tragedy of that ancient conflict but also the profound impact of Greek mythology on the collective imagination-a legacy that continues to resonate with readers today.
