Perhaps the greatest poem of the Western world, The Iliad tells the story of 50 critical days towards the end of the Trojan war. Achilles has quarrelled with Agamemnon and sulks in his tent, while Hector brings his Trojans to the brink of victory; but fate will have the last word.Public Domain (P)2006 Naxos AudioBooks Ancient, Classical & Medieval Literature Classics Collections Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Fiction Ancient History Ancient Greece Mythology

This story is amazing, a tale of heroes and god's, the Iliad is a timeless Greek legend. Anton Lesser does ana amazing job of narrating it, at first I was skeptical of him but his narration grew on me and I wouldn't listen to it any other way now.
