. Paris, a Trojan prince, having won Helen as his prize for judging a beauty contest between the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, abducted her from her Greek husband Menelaus and transported her to Troy. The Greeks, enraged by this audacity and devastated by the loss of the most beautiful woman in the world, set sail to Troy and began the long siege of the city. The Iliad narrates the events ten years into the war, describing the anger of Achilles, which results in the death of Patroclus and Achilles's mourning of him and avenging of his murder. It has had a far-reaching impact on Western literature and culture, inspiring writers, artists and classical composers across the ages.

Dor e Sofrimento

É uma leitura bem densa, demorei meses pra terminar e os últimos livros com a morte de Hector acabaram comigo. O que não chorei com o livro todo, chorei com Priam buscando o corpo do filho com a proteção dos deuses. Uma leitura muito necessária, na minha opinião, mas o livro todo é feito de dor e sofrimento.
