Eliot, Homer's epic poem The Iliad is translated by Robert Fagles with an introduction and notes by Bernard Knox in Penguin Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOne of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode in the Trojan War. At its centre is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his refusal to fight after being humiliated by his leader Agamemnon. But when the Trojan Hector kills Achilles' close friend Patroclus, Achilles storms back into battle to take revenge - although knowing this will ensure his own early death. Interwoven with this tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, of the domestic world inside Troy's besieged city of Ilium, and of the conflicts between the Gods on Olympus as they argue over the fate of mortals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliad and Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you enjoyed The Iliad, you might like The Odyssey, also available in Penguin Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'An astonishing performance'\u003cbr\u003e\nPeter Levi\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Plain and direct, noble, above all rapid ... leading the reader forward with an irresistible flow.
