About this audiobook

It is the tenth year of the Trojan War. The Greek allies have laid siege to the city of Troy, but the leaders of the Greek factions are beginning to turn on one another. When Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, angers Achilles, leader of the Myrmidons, the gods begin to intervene more directly in the conflict, and the war becomes even more dangerous for the heroes of Greece and Troy. The Iliad is attributed to the poet Homer and is the earliest surviving work of Western literature. Composed sometime around the eighth century BC, the ancient Greek poem has since been translated into many languages and serves as an important source of information on ancient Greek culture and mythology. The story of the Trojan War was adapted for the 2004 film Troy, which starred Brad Pitt and Eric Bana.

The modern 2020's of the relevancy of so many things in history as well the past can be compared to reading this makes researching data so fun.Why it brings to light the science of the appreciation of the theater presentation of the way this was read, and how much science of love , friendship and the importance of appropriating growth and how one should be patient and not quick to judge. But after one makes that decision, make haste to be accurate before delivering the statement. As words can never be taken back. Again Wonderful read.
