Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Iliad has had a far-reaching impact on Western literature and
culture, inspiring writers, artists and classical composers across
the ages. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of
stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges
and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a
treat for any book lover. This edition features an introduction by
classicist, writer and broadcaster Natalie Haynes, author of A
Thousand Ships and host of her own BBC Radio 4 show, Natalie Haynes
Stands up for the Classics. Paris, a Trojan prince, wins Helen as
his prize for judging a beauty contest between three goddesses, and
abducts her from her Greek husband Menelaos. The Greeks, enraged by
his audacity, sail to Troy and begin a long siege of the city. The
Iliad is set in the tenth year of the war. Achilles - the greatest
Greek warrior - is angry with his commander, Agamemnon, for failing
to show him respect. He refuses to fight any longer, which is
catastrophic for the Greeks, and results in personal tragedy for
Achilles, too. With themes of war, rage, grief and love, The Iliad
remains powerful and enthralling more than 2,700 years after it was
composed. This edition is translated into prose by Andrew Lang,
Walter Leaf and Ernest Myers.
