Excerpts:

  • 1.1:

    Anger be now your song, immortal one,
    Akhilleus’ anger, doomed and ruinous,
    that caused the Akhaians loss on bitter loss
    and crowded brave souls into the undergloom,
    leaving so many dead men—carrion
    for dogs and birds; and the will of Zeus was done.
    Begin it when the two men first contending
    broke with one another—
                                                                                  the Lord Marshal
    Agamémnon, Atreus’ son, and Prince Akhilleus.



    Among the gods, who brought this quarrel on?
