After quarrelling with Agamemnon, Achilles withdraws from battle, setting in motion events that lead to the death of his beloved companion Patroclus and his confrontation with Hector. The epic explores honour, rage, mortality, warfare and the human cost of heroic glory. Homer's Iliad is one of the foundational works of Western literature, set during the final stages of the Trojan War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
