The Iliad, attributed to Homer, is one of the greatest epics in Western literature. Set during the final weeks of the Trojan War, it explores themes of heroism, honor, wrath, and fate. Central to the story is the conflict between Achilles, the mightiest Greek warrior, and King Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek forces. The quarrel arises when Agamemnon seizes Briseis, a captive woman claimed by Achilles, leading to Achilles’ withdrawal from the battle. This act results in devastating losses for the Greeks as the Trojans, led by Hector, gain the upper hand. As the war intensifies, the gods intervene, manipulating events according to their whims and rivalries. The epic reaches its tragic climax with the death of Hector at the hands of Achilles, followed by poignant moments of grief, compassion, and reconciliation. With its complex characters and vivid depictions of war, The Iliad offers a profound exploration of human nature, glory, and the devastating costs of conflict.
