The city of Troy, dignified and proud, resists the Greeks who have come with their ships to conquer it. The siege lasts for years, and countless are the battles in the plains of Troy, the duels, and the clashes with the chariots. Even the gods take part in this war.

The Iliad, the immortal epic of Homer, is an exceptional description of that distant era. The allure of ancient military operations comes alive again in this book, which aims to vividly present the emotions and deeds of heroes such as Achilles, the strongest Achaean, who will avenge his friend's death, and Hector, the protector of Troy, who will find a glorious death bravely fighting Achilles.

From the pages of this book, the brilliance of the myth shines vibrantly, amid wondrous tales of courage, heroism, and self-sacrifice.
