Price: £7.99The Iliad is the story of a few days' fighting in the tenth year of the legendary war between the Greeks and the Trojans. It is a work of extraordinary pathos and profundity that concerns itself with issues as fundamental as the meaning of life and death. Even the heroic ethic - with its emphasis on pride, honour, prowess in battle, and submission to the will of the gods - is not left unquestioned.
Description
Much more than a series of battle scenes, the Iliad is a work of extraordinary pathos and profundity that concerns itself with issues as fundamental as the meaning of life and death.
