Summary: "Iλιάδα" by Homer is an epic poem written in ancient times. The work narrates the events of the Trojan War, focusing particularly on the anger of Achilles, a key hero of the Greeks, and the devastating consequences of his wrath on the Greek forces. The themes of honor, fate, and the influence of the gods on human affairs are central to this classic tale. The opening of the "Iλιάδα" introduces us to the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon, the leader of the Achaean army. It begins with the invocation of the Muse and describes the effects of Achilles' anger, which leads the Greeks to suffering and death through a plague sent by Apollo. The events kick off with a dispute over the captive woman Chryseis, leading to Agamemnon’s refusal to return her to her father, provoking the wrath of Apollo. As significant characters such as Achilles and the seer Calchas are introduced, the stage is set for exploring themes of honor, power struggles, and the resulting tragedies of war.
