L'Iliade raconte le siège de Troie, mais ne le suit pas dans son intégralité. Le récit épique fait alterner batailles et scènes se passant chez les héros des deux camps, troyens et achéens, ainsi qu'au sein de l'Olympe, chez les dieux. Qui ne connaît les noms des héros de l'épopée: Diomède, Ménélas, Agamemnon, les Ajax, Ulysse, Hector et surtout Achille dont la colère va diriger le récit. Colère terrible qui ménera son meilleur ami, Patrocle, à la mort et rendra Achille ivre de vengeance. Vengeance aveugle qui verra Hector, héros des Troyens, anéanti dans un combat singulier.

Cosa rimane oggi dell’Iliade e dell’Odissea? È possibile raccontarle ancora? È questa la sfida di Eroi, il nuovo libro di Andrea Pennacchi, che accompagna i lettori e il pubblico alla scoperta di questi due classici, rileggendo l’epica omerica e arricchendo la narrazione di riflessioni, ricordi e fantasie. Così la guerra sotto le mura di Troia risuona nelle lance che battono sugli scudi degli eroi di un tempo; così il ritorno di Odisseo verso Itaca si popola di creature e di voci, mentre le onde si infrangono sul legno.
