Iliad

High on Olympus, Zeus and the assembled deities look down on the world of men, to the city of Troy where a bitter and bloody war has dragged into its tenth year, and a quarrel rages between a legendary warrior and his commander. Greek ships decay, men languish, exhausted, and behind the walls of Troy a desperate people await the next turn of fate.

In sus, pe Olimp, Zeus si zeitatile adunate privesc cu dispret lumea oamenilor, orasul Troia, unde un razboi amar si sangeros a ajuns in al zecelea an si o cearta intre un razboinic legendar si comandantul sau. Navele grecesti se deterioreaza, oamenii lancezesc, epuizati, iar in spatele zidurilor Troiei un popor disperat asteapta urmatoarea intorsatura a destinului.
