<br/><br/> "The Greeks considered the Iliad their greatest literary achievement, and no epic poem in any language has ever rivalled it. Out of a single episode in the Tale of Troy, Achilles' withdrawal from the fighting and his return to kill the Trojan hero Hector, Homer created a timeless, dramatic tragedy. His characters are heroic but their passions and problems are human and universal, and he presents them with compassion, understanding and humour against the harsh background of war."-Back cover
