About this listen

 Perhaps the greatest poem of the Western world, The Iliad tells the story of 50 critical days towards the end of the Trojan war. Achilles has quarrelled with Agamemnon and sulks in his tent, while Hector brings his Trojans to the brink of victory; but fate will have the last word.Public Domain (P)2006 Naxos AudioBooks Ancient, Classical & Medieval Literature Classics Collections Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Fiction Ancient History Ancient Greece Mythology

Not exactly a page turner, but a fascinating look into literary history. It was certainly good enough for me to now deem it necessary to read The Odyssey, which is like a sequel.

Good to know!
