Excerpts:

  • 1.1:

    Sing, goddess, the anger of Achilles, Peleus’ son,
    the accursed anger which brought the Achaeans countless
    agonies and hurled many mighty shades of heroes into Hades,
    causing them to become the prey of dogs and
    all kinds of birds; and the plan of Zeus was fulfilled.
    Sing from the time the two men were first divided in strife—
    Atreus’ son, lord of men, and glorious Achilles.
    Which of the gods was it who set them to quarrel and fight?
