Sing, goddess, the wrath of Achilles... For nine long years, the armies of Greece have besieged the walls of Troy. But when a bitter quarrel erupts between King Agamemnon and Achilles, the greatest of all warriors, rage threatens to destroy the Greeks from within. As Achilles withdraws from battle, the tide of war turns — and gods and mortals alike are drawn into a conflict where honor demands blood, and glory comes at a terrible price. Homer's Iliad stands at the very beginning of Western literature: a monumental epic of war, pride, grief, and the fleeting nature of human life. From the duel of Paris and Menelaus to the death of Hector before the gates of Troy, its scenes have echoed through three millennia — and lost none of their power. This audiobook presents Samuel Butler's celebrated prose translation, prized for its clarity and directness. 🎧 Listen ad-free and get early access to new audiobooks on Patreon: 👉 / gates_of_imagination 📖 More Homer on our channel: The Odyssey: • The Odyssey by Homer | Full Audiobook 🔔 Subscribe for more classic literature, horror, and weird fiction audiobooks ⏱ CHAPTERS 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:12 Book I 00:35:49 Book II 01:26:32 Book III 01:51:24 Book IV 02:21:59 Book V 03:14:12 Book VI 03:44:46 Book VII 04:11:27 Book VIII 04:43:35 Book IX 05:24:51 Book X 05:57:35 Book XI 06:47:58 Book XII 07:15:40 Book XIII 08:05:56 Book XIV 08:37:01 Book XV 09:20:42 Book XVI 10:13:50 Book XVII 10:56:56 Book XVIII 11:32:40 Book XIX 11:56:43 Book XX 12:26:41 Book XXI 13:03:16 Book XXII 13:35:10 Book XXIII 14:29:01 Book XXIV #iliad #homer #audiobook #greekmythology #trojanwar #classicliterature
