Set during the final weeks of the decade-long Trojan War, it follows the devastating anger of Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, sparked by a bitter quarrel with King Agamemnon. As pride and wrath collide on the blood-soaked plains of Troy, gods intervene in mortal affairs and heroes face their fates. The poem explores glory, honor, and the brutal cost of war through sweeping battles and intimate human moments. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
