“The Iliad” is an ancient poem that has remained relevant for thousands of years and will be read as long as humanity exists. It tells of eternal themes: a cruel war where invaders invade foreign lands with swords, and the sacred struggle of defenders for their homes and loved ones. The story of love of a woman who realizes that her heart belongs to an unworthy man—and of a warrior driven by bitter and hopeless passion to avenge the loss. This epic poem reflects the whole spectrum of human qualities—from vice to virtue, from greed to nobility, from cunning to foolishness.
