HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. When Paris falls in love with
legendary beauty Helen of Troy, the devastating effects of their
affair on their families and fellow citizens are unimaginable.
Battle lines are drawn, alliances are forged, and as the Greeks and
Trojans march into battle, the resilience and humanity of all will
be tested. In his epic story of divine ego, human frailty, and the
ravages of war, Homer created an unforgettable cast of characters,
whose moral dilemmas and heroic deeds will stay with readers long
past the final pages of this book. Samuel Butler's famous prose
translation of Homer's original brings the epic to an entirely new
generation of readers.

When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in
2017—revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that
"combines intellectual authority with addictive readability" (Edith
Hall, The Sunday Telegraph)—critics lauded it as "a revelation"
(Susan Chira, The New York Times) and "a cultural landmark"
(Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian) that would forever change how
Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally
revelatory translation of the first great Homeric epic: The Iliad.
In Wilson's hands, this exciting and often horrifying work now
gallops at a pace befitting its battle scenes, roaring with the
clamour of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors and the anguished
cries of dying men. Wilson's unadorned but resonant language plumbs
the poem's profound pathos and reveals its characters as palpably
real, even "complicated", human beings. Capping a decade of intense
engagement with Homer's poetry, Wilson's Iliad now gives us a
complete Homer for our generation.
