The Iliad condenses the Trojan War into a searing chronicle of a few weeks, governed by the catastrophic rage of Achilles and the fragile negotiations of honor. Composed in rolling dactylic hexameter, it fuses aristeiai, duels, councils, and funeral rites with a vivid divine machinery and far-ranging similes that place bronze-age combat within a cosmic ecology. Its formulaic diction, epithets, and ring composition reveal origins in an oral performance tradition, while its focus on the cost of kleos and the limits of heroic power sets it within the emergent literature of Archaic Greece. Ascribed to Homer, the semi-legendary poet of archaic Ionia, the poem crystallizes centuries of song shaped by rhapsodic performance and communal memory.

Both an unsparing anatomy of violence and a humane meditation on mortality, The Iliad rewards readers interested in epic poetics, political counsel, and the ethics of anger and pity.
