De Ilias is a classic epic of Homer that describes the final year of the siege of Troy. At its center is the wrath of Achilles, who, after a conflict with Agamemnon, withdraws from the fighting. After the death of his friend Patroclus, Achilles regains his fighting spirit, avenges his death, and ensures the return of Hector's body to Priam.
This translation by Patrick Lateur brings famous passages such as Hector and Andromache's farewell and the conversation between Priam and Achilles vividly to life. The work combines convincingly themes such as war, honor, revenge, and friendship, offering a clear insight into the classic mythological story.
