The Iliad: Join Achilles at the Gates of Troy as he slays Hector to venge the death of Patroclus. Here is a story of love and war, hope and despair, and honor and glory. The major motion picture Helen of Troy staring Brad Pitt proves that this epic is as relevant today as it was twenty five hundred years ago when it was first written. So journey back to the Trojan War with Homer and relive the grandest adventure of all times.
