The classic saga from ancient Greek poet Homer. Homer's incredible poetry has survived the centuries to become a landmark in classical literature. "The Iliad," the first of Homer's epic poems, tells of the counsel of Nestor, Achilles' slaying of Hector, and the defeat of the Trojans by the Greeks. It vividly recalls the events of the Trojan War and the uncontrolled wrath of the Greek commander Achilles that led to so much destruction.
