Homer

 

In Homer’s epic poem, The Iliad, amidst the final year of the siege of Troy, Chryses, desperate to ransom his daughter Chrysies from the Achaean leader Agamemnon, faces rejection. In response, Chryses seeks the aid of Apollo, who inflicts a devastating plague on the Achaeans. As the Myrmidons’ leader, Achilles, calls for a council to uncover the cause of the plague, Agamemnon is forced to release Chrysies. However, tensions rise as Agamemnon demands Achilles’ captive, Briseis, and in a fit of rage, Achilles refuses to fight in the war. With its thrilling narrative spanning twenty-four books that celebrate the glory and horrors of war, The Iliad is a timeless masterpiece, considered one of the most influential works in the Western Canon and among the oldest surviving works of Western literature.

Amidst everything else, Homer reminds the readers of the impermanence of mortals and their creations. The Iliad, written in dactylic or heroic hexameter, is among the oldest extant works of Western literature. Nearly all editions—ancient, modern and translations—are divided into twenty-four books. it continues to remain a rare classic with an extremely captivating lyrical beauty.
