The Iliad (Candlewick Edition)

Product Description

More than three thousand years ago, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War.

The Iliad, Homer’s legendary account of this nine-year ordeal, is considered the greatest war story of all time and one of the most important works of Western literature. In this stunning graphic novel adaptation, Gareth Hinds captures all the grim glory of Homer’s epic.

Dynamic illustrations take readers directly to the plains of Troy, into the battle itself, and lay bare the complex emotions of the men, women, and gods whose struggles fueled the war and determined its outcome. This volume also features notes, maps, a cast of characters, and other tools to help readers understand all the action and drama of Homer’s epic. Available in softcover and hardcover editions.
