Iliad

«Iliad» — an epic about the Trojan War and its last, most intense days. At the center of the poem is Achilles, a hero whose decision to refuse to fight changes the course of events and the fates of those around him. Battles, duels, speeches, and farewells form a dense and profound narrative about war and the people who have lived it for too long.

Homer narrates calmly and attentively, giving place to both the heroes and those who remain in the shadow of their glory. This poem has become the foundation of European literature and continues to inspire writers, poets, and thinkers for millennia.
