The War that Killed Achilles The True Story of the Iliad
by Caroline Alexander
'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.
