Homer's Iliad has captivated readers and influenced writers and artists for more than two thousand years. Reading the poem in its original language provides an experience as challenging as it is rewarding.

Structured to maximize reading ease, P. A. Draper's volume stands out among introductions to the Greek Iliad .
