About this audiobook

The Iliad tells the story of the heroes of the Trojan War -- timeless characters like Achilles, Patroclus, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Hector, Paris, Helen of Troy -- focusing on just a few decisive weeks near the end of the ten year struggle, during a time when the Greek leaders Achilles and Agamemnon are at odds.

So hard to listen to the monotone AI voice reading this story. There's no inflection and all names are pronounced so badly. Kills the story entirely.

About the author

Homer was an ancient Greek author and epic poet. He is the reputed author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two epic poems that are the foundational works of ancient Greek literature. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time; for example in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Virgil refers to him as "poet sovereign", king of all poets; in the preface to his translation of the Iliad, Alexander Pope acknowledges that Homer has always been considered the "greatest of poets".
