Sing, goddess, the anger of Achilles: in the tenth year of the Greek siege of Troy, Agamemnon takes away the captive woman given to Achilles as his prize, and the greatest of the Greek warriors withdraws from the fighting. Without him the Trojans, led by Hector, drive the Greeks back to their ships, until Achilles' beloved friend Patroclus is killed. Achilles returns in fury, kills Hector and drags his body round the walls, and the poem ends when the old king Priam comes alone by night to ask for his son's body.
The Iliad, attributed to Homer and dating from the eighth century BC, stands at the beginning of Western literature; the Odyssey is also in this library. This recording uses Samuel Butler's prose translation of 1898, read by seventeen LibriVox volunteers in about fourteen and a half hours.
