The Iliad

by Homer

The oldest surviving work of Greek literature, an epic of the wrath of Achilles during a few weeks in the tenth year of the Trojan War. Its gods quarrel, take sides and intervene in battle, and it is the earliest and richest source for the Olympians as the Greeks first imagined them.
