The Iliad of Homer, in William Cowper's blank-verse translation, is a Greek epic poem about the Trojan War. It follows the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon, the fighting before Troy, and the interventions of the gods, weaving together honor, wrath, and fate. It is worth hearing for its vivid characters and stately verse, which bring the ancient world to life.
