Set during the final weeks of the ten-year Trojan War, the poem follows the devastating anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior. After a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon over honor and pride, Achilles withdraws from battle, setting off a chain of tragic events. The narrative weaves between brutal battlefield clashes and intimate personal moments, while the Olympian gods themselves intervene in mortal affairs, favoring their chosen heroes in this timeless exploration of glory, fate, and wrath.
