The Iliad

Centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus' killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. This book presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background.

Se concentreaza pe evenimentele critice din ultimul an al razboiului troian, care au dus la uciderea lui Hektor de catre Ahile si determina soarta Troiei. Aceasta carte prezinta o viziune universala si tragica asupra lumii, asupra vietii umane traite sub umbra suferintei si a mortii, pusa pe un fundal divin vast si in mare masura lipsit de mila.
