This is a story about a time of myth and legend, when great heroes performed equally great feats, and the Olympian gods repeatedly intervened in the affairs of mortals.
The Trojan War, unleashed by the gods, is now in its tenth year. Heroes from both sides clash at the walls of Ilion. The exploits of Achilles and Odysseus, Ajax and Diomedes, Hector and Paris, Sarpedon and Aeneas are countless, but decisive victory eludes both the Trojans and the Achaeans. And so discord breaks out in the Greek camp. One of the greatest heroes, Achilles, son of the sea nymph Thetis, feels insulted by the actions of the Mycenaean king Agamemnon and refuses to participate in the battle. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, the Trojans stage a desperate sortie and approach the Greek camp. Sensing that defeat is inevitable, Achilles' friend Patroclus dons the hero's armor and leads the Achaeans into battle disguised as Thetis's son...
This book presents Homer's famous poem in a translation by the renowned Russian writer and literary scholar Vikenty Veresaev. This deluxe edition features colorful illustrations by the French artist Clément Gontier.
