About this audiobook
Homer's The Iliad is a monumental epic of heroism, honor, and the devastating impact of war. Set during the final year of the Trojan War, this ancient Greek masterpiece chronicles the fierce battles and legendary exploits of warriors such as Achilles, Hector, and Ajax.
As the Greek and Trojan forces clash on the plains of Troy, themes of glory, fate, and the wrath of gods intertwine with the personal struggles and triumphs of the characters. Homer’s vivid depictions of combat and his profound insights into human nature and the futility of conflict make The Iliad a timeless exploration of the human condition.

Author
Homer
Although recognized as one of the greatest ancient Greek poets, the life and figure of Homer remains shrouded in mystery. Credited with the authorship of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, Homer, if he existed, is believed to have lived during the ninth century BC, and has been identified variously as a Babylonian, an Ithacan, or an Ionian. Regardless of his citizenship, Homer’s poems and speeches played a key role in shaping Greek culture, and Homeric studies remains one of the oldest continuous areas of scholarship, reaching from antiquity through to modern times.
