Publisher Description

The Iliad was first published in the 9th century B.C. It's an ancient epic poem that presents the author's interpretation of the events that took place during a few weeks of the tenth and final year of the Trojan War. As old and distant it may sound, the book had striking similarities to the modern world: War, the bloodbath in the name of honour and glory, and misogyny have been inseparable limbs of mankind. Gorgeous language and similes, beautiful poetry, relatable humanity, vivid characters, brilliant narrative that keeps the reader on the edge of the seat, and the myths of Greece. For the modern readers, a study guide that offers historical, cultural, and literary content to the epic can enhance the reading experience manifolds.
