This new and exciting translation of Homer’s epic war poem, The Iliad, is told with excitement and character by Anton Lesser.
The poem concentrates on the key fifty days during the ten-year war, when there is strife not only between the Greeks and the defending Trojans, but also within the Greek forces themselves.
