| Notes: | Set during the Trojan War, the Iliad is the story of the wrath of Achilles, the greatest of the Greek warriors. The work is an exploration of the heroic ideal with all its contradictions. COMMENTS — Although we don’t pretend to be experts on the subject, we’ve heard that the best translations of Homer’s works were those done by Robert Fagel, published in 1996. |
