Homer’s epic poem, dating back to the ninth century BC, explores the intense emotions and conflicts of men and gods amid the destruction of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox highlights the coexistence of horrific violence with glimpses of civilization and a deep longing for peace. Robert Fagles' contemporary translation infuses the original's energy and metric beauty, bringing to life the Iliad's powerful imagery and repetitive phrases in an engaging manner.
