Overview
A gorgeous pocket-sized edition of Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, introduced by author and classicist Natalie Haynes.The Iliad has had a far-reaching impact on Western literature and culture, inspiring writers, artists and classical composers across the ages. This edition is translated into prose by Andrew Lang, Walter Leaf and Ernest Myers, and features an introduction by author and classicist Natalie Haynes.Paris, a Trojan prince, wins Helen as his prize for judging a beauty contest between three goddesses, and abducts her from her Greek husband Menelaos. The Greeks, enraged by his audacity, sail to Troy and begin a long siege of the city.The Iliad is set in the tenth year of the war. Achilles - the great Greek warrior - is angry with his commander, Agamemnon, for failing to show him respect.

With themes of war, rage, grief and love, this epic remains powerful and enthralling more than 2,700 years after it was composed.Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers.
