The Iliad by Homer
Sing, goddess, the anger of Peleus’ son Achilleus and its devastation, which put pains thousandfold upon the Achaians, hurled in their multitudes to the house of Hades strong souls of heroes, but gave their bodies to be the delicate feasting of dogs, of all birds, and the will of Zeus was accomplished since that time when first there stood in division of conflict Atreus’ son the lord of men and brilliant Achilleus.
The Iliad (in ancient greek Ἰλιάς, Ilias) is the first epic poem of the author that is nowadays commonly known as Homer. Although we know very little about its author, the Iliad has been considered in the past millennias as the first greek poem of such a great importance.
