"Homeri Carmina et Cycli Epici Reliquiæ. Pars Prima: Ilias" 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 traces the destructive anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, following a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. As rage leads Achilles to abandon his comrades, the conflict escalates toward the death of Troy's prince Hector, with gods intervening and heroes clashing on the blood-soaked plains.
