The war that killed Achilles : the true story of the Iliad
Alexander, Caroline, 1956-2011
Book
'The Iliad' is still the greatest poem about war that our culture has ever produced. For generations, poets & thinkers have pored over, retold & argued about the events described in it. This book is not about any of the traditional concerns that have occupied classicists for centuries; it is a book about what the 'Iliad' is about.
