Iliad of Homer

The Iliad, as reproduced by Theodore Alois Buckley, presents the epic tale of the Trojan War, focusing on themes of heroism, honor, and the impact of fate on human lives. Buckley's translation aims to capture the original's poetic essence while making it accessible to modern readers. The narrative follows key figures like Achilles and Hector, exploring their motivations, conflicts, and the consequences of their actions amidst the backdrop of divine intervention and human struggle.
