# The Iliads of Homer

_Translated according to the Greek_

By Homer.

"The Iliads of Homer" by Homer is an ancient Greek epic poem composed around the late 8th or early 7th century BC. Set during the final weeks of the ten-year Trojan War, it follows the devastating rage of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, after a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. The narrative weaves between massive battlefield clashes and intimate personal conflicts, tracing events from Achilles's withdrawal from combat to the death of Trojan prince Hector. Gods intervene, heroes fall, and honor hangs in the balance as this foundational work of Western literature explores glory, fate, and wrath. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
