The Iliad is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time. Set during the Trojan War, this timeless poem vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amid devastation and destruction. Homer’s tale is a compassionate view of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death in the face of an often uncaring divinity.
