About this listen

A timeless epic of war, wrath, and the will of the gods.

In the heat of the Trojan War, the Greek army’s greatest warrior, Achilles, withdraws from battle after a bitter dispute with King Agamemnon. As the war spirals into chaos, heroes rise and fall, divine forces meddle in mortal affairs, and honor is tested on every side. But when tragedy strikes, Achilles must confront his rage—and his destiny.

The Iliad is a gripping exploration of glory and grief, love and loss, in a world where even the strongest are at the mercy of fate. This ancient masterpiece still speaks with urgent power to modern listeneres, reminding us what it means to fight, to suffer, and to be human.

Translated by W. H. D. Rouse. Read by Barnaby Edwards.
