The latest addition to the Chartwell Classics series, The Iliad is the first 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, including Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth, as they endure the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.
