Summary: "L'Iliade" by Homer is an epic poem composed in the 8th century BC. The narrative centers around the events of the Trojan War, focusing on the struggle and wrath of the Greek hero Achilles, and explores themes of honor, pride, and the impact of human emotions in both war and peace. The opening of "L'Iliade" introduces the conflict triggered by Agamemnon's disrespect towards Apollo's priest, which results in a plague against the Greek forces. Achilles, the mightiest Greek warrior, is in a rage over the loss of his war prize, Breisèis, to Agamemnon. This jealousy and pride lead to a pivotal quarrel between the two, highlighting the tension among the Greek leaders and foreshadowing the dire consequences of their discord. As Achilles withdraws from battle, he seeks the help of his divine mother, Thetis, to plead with Zeus for revenge against Agamemnon, setting into motion the tragic events to follow in the epic saga.
