The Iliad by Homer, translated by Samuel Butler - Book 1

The only license I have taken from the original translation is changing some of the Roman names to the Greek ones.

  • The quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles
  • Achilles withdraws from the war, and sends his mother Thetis to ask Zeus to help the Trojans
  • Scene between Zeus and Hera on Olympus.
