About this listen
The Iliad - attributed to Homer - is the most famous ancient Greek epic poem. It recounts the struggle between King Agamemnon and the hero Achilles during the final months of the Trojan War, with frequent detours into earlier legends and myths. In its portrayal of battle scenes and the constant interventions of the gods, The Iliad explores themes of wrath, glory, and fate, and has provided the subject matter for many later Greek, Roman, and Renaissance writings. Consisting of 15,693 lines of dactylic hexameter verse, the entire poem has a formal rhythm with slight variations, which makes easy to memorize while preventing monotony.
