About this book
Ilíada by Homer sweeps listeners into the thunderous world of heroes, gods, and the brutal grandeur of war. This epic poem—rooted in the oral traditions of ancient Greece and a cornerstone of classical antiquity—unfolds across twenty-four cantos to chronicle the feats and sufferings of warriors during the legendary siege of Troy.
Rich in vivid battle scenes and intimate human moments, the Ilíada explores themes of honor, wrath, fate, mortality, and the thin line between glory and ruin. Homer’s voice blends myth and history: evocative portrayals of Achaean and Trojan leaders sit alongside interventions from capricious gods, reflecting Bronze Age settings filtered through an eighth-century BC poetic lens. The narrative’s formal power and moral complexity have shaped Western literature for millennia, while its repeated motifs—valor, friendship, loss—remain strikingly contemporary.
Ideal for lovers of classics, epic poetry, mythology, and ancient history, this audiobook offers a dramatic, immersive delivery that brings Homer’s monumental verse to life. Listen to the Ilíada to experience one of literature’s foundational tales and to hear why its drama and moral questions continue to resonate across ages.
