On the fields of Troy, war is raging. At its centre is Achilles: godlike, swift-footed, the greatest champion of the Greeks. But when his pride is wounded and he refuses to fight, the thread of fate begins to spin. From frenzied rampages to intimate moments of grief, this selection from Homer’s ‘Iliad’ traces the tale of a warrior whose name echoes through the ages, and whose story remains as powerful as ever.
