- 90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books 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.
