The Anger Of Achilles: Homer's Iliad

Known the world over as a great epic literary classic, the ILIAD was composed primarily to amuse and is filled with comedy and satire. In THE ANGER OF ACHILLES, Robert Graves has translated the narrative into sharp, clear prose, interpolating the songs into lyric poetry and incorporating all the humor and wit usually lacking in more scholastic and less imaginative versions. "This story of three days in the Trojan War is engrossing in itself. In the hands of a man who is as accomplished as a novelist as he is a poet, it makes superb reading. Highly recommended."
