Excerpt from The Iliad of Homer, Vol. 2 of 2: Rendered Into English Blank Verse
My son, Sarpedon; by his comrade's death Achilles roused to rage shall Hector slay; Thenceforth my counsel is, that from the ships The Trojan force shall still be backward driven, Until at length, by Pallas' deep designs, The Greeks possess the lofty walls of Troy. Yet will not I my anger intermit.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exquisite translation of Homer's Iliad, an epic poem that stands as a literary and historical monument. The Iliad recounts the final weeks of the Trojan War, a conflict between the invading Greek army and the defending Trojans. The story centers around the wrath of Achilles, a legendary Greek warrior whose anger against Agamemnon, the Greek commander, leads him to withdraw from battle. The absence of Achilles emboldens the Trojans, and the Greeks suffer heavy losses. Patroclus, Achilles' close friend, dons Achilles' armor and leads the Greeks into battle, where he is slain by Hector, the Trojan prince. Achilles, enraged by the death of Patroclus, returns to battle and kills Hector in a duel, ultimately avenging his friend's death. The Iliad explores themes of honor, glory, fate, and the human cost of war, making it a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.
