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.
Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, the Chartwell Classics series includes beautifully presented works and collections from some of the most important authors in literary history. Chartwell Classics are the editions of choice for the most discerning literature buffs.
