The Iliad is Homer's ancient Greek epic poem in twenty-four books, here in George Chapman's celebrated Elizabethan verse translation. It follows the wrath of Achilles and the Trojan War, with gods and mortals caught in a long siege. Its powerful speeches and vivid battle scenes make it a foundational work of Western literature.

Inconsistent spellings in the original text, particularly of proper names with special characters, retained in the transcription (E.g.
