Description
The Iliad of Homer
Translated by Samuel Butler
This is Samuel Butler's translation of the core story of the Trojan War. The tale of the fateful war between the Achaeans and the city of Troy is one of the masterpieces of world literature. The Iliad is one of the two great epics of Homer, and is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.
