Synopsis

Epic battlefield drama and personal drama collide in a blistering, blank-verse retelling of a turning point in the Trojan War.

This edition presents a dramatic, verse‑driven rendering of key confrontations and turning moments from Homer’s Iliad. The focus is on heroism, strategy, and the human costs of war, brought to life in accessible language that echoes the cadence of ancient epic while staying readable for modern readers.

• Follow Hector as he leads the assault on the walls, and meet Andromache, Hector’s wife, whose fear for their son and the city’s fate adds a personal edge to the siege.
• See the clash of walls, gates, and towers, with vivid battle images, strategic moves, and the looming power of the gods behind mortal deeds.
• Watch the leaders of the Greek camp rally their troops, urging courage, endurance, and unity in the face of heavy odds.
• Encounter key exchanges between warriors that reveal pride, duty, and the weight of leadership in a city under siege.

Ideal for readers of epic poetry, classical translations, and readers seeking a vivid, action-filled entry point into one of literature’s oldest wars.
