My Literary Study Books: #4, Illiad by Homer, translated by Stanley Lombardo for my Studies of Classic Greek course“Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. The epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles’ looming death and the sack of Troy, prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, so that when it reaches an end, the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War.” "The Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BCE.” -- source link
