EB. Very Good. Hardcover. Leather. 8vo. Published by G. Bell and Sons, Ltd, London, UK. 1913. Xliv, 459 pgs. Illustrated. Bound in full decorated prize binding leather with the coat of arms for Christ College Grammar School present to the front board with gilt titles and raised bands present to the spine. Leather lightly worn along the extremities. Previous owner prize bookplate present to the reverse of the front board. Previous owner's name present to the reverse of the FFEP. Foxing present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization—the cornerstone of Western culture and an epic poem without rival in world literature. The story centers on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus’s killing of Hektor and the fall of Troy. But Homer's theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world: human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
