Synopsis "The Iliad "

After nine years fighting the Trojan War, the Greeks sense imminent defeat. The gods have cursed them with a plague; the Trojans have set their ships on fire; and their best warrior, the impenetrable Achilles, has turned his back on them. But when the Trojans go too far and kill Patroclus, his beloved brother-in-arms, Achilles returns to the battlefield with a vengeance so terrible that it shocks even the gods.Written by Homer more than twenty-five hundred years ago, The Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature—the seminal epic narrative of infantry combat, the scars of battle, and the inevitability of fate.AmazonClassics brings you timeless works from the masters of storytelling. Ideal for anyone who wants to read a great work for the first time or rediscover an old favorite, these new editions open the door to literature’s most unforgettable characters and beloved worlds.Revised edition: Previously published as The Iliad, this edition of The Iliad (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

Homero fue el legendario poeta y aedo de la Antigua Grecia, a quien se le atribuye la autoría de dos obras fundamentales de la literatura universal: La Ilíada y La Odisea.Se calcula que vivió durante el siglo VIII a. C. Aunque su figura real está envuelta en el misterio y su existencia es debatida, la tradición lo describe como un poeta ciego y originario de la región jónica (en Asia Menor).La Ilíada narra el último año de la guerra de Troya y la cólera del héroe Aquiles. La Odisea relata el largo y peligroso viaje de regreso de Odiseo (Ulises) a su reino en Ítaca.Estas epopeyas fueron transmitidas oralmente por generaciones antes de ser puestas por escrito. Son pilares de la cultura occidental y fundamentales para entender la mitología griega, los valores heroicos y el pensamiento de la época clásica.
