"The Story of the Iliad" by Alfred John Church retells the classic epic poem attributed to Homer. The story centers on the Trojan War and the conflict between Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, and Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek forces. The narrative explores themes of honor, pride, and the consequences of rage as Achilles withdraws from battle after a dispute with Agamemnon, leading to devastating consequences for the Greeks. Key events include the heroic exploits of various warriors, the intervention of gods, and the tragic fate of heroes, culminating in the eventual fall of Troy.
