The greatest war epic in Western literature begins here, in the tent of Agamemnon, where pride collides with honor and a quarrel between two kings sets ten years of suffering in motion. When Agamemnon seizes Briseis, the captive woman awarded to Achilles, the Greeks’ mightiest warrior withdraws from battle — and calls upon his mother Thetis to persuade Zeus to punish his own allies. Amid plague, mutiny, and a bitter standing quarrel, an old king walks into enemy territory to beg the god Apollo for mercy. This is Book 1 of Homer’s Iliad, presented in the classic public domain translation by Samuel Butler (1898). Whether you’re discovering the epic for the first time or revisiting an old friend, this audiobook brings the ancient verses to life for listening, study, or long drives.
