The Iliad by Homer COMPLETE Audiobook - Book 1

The Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Usually considered to have been written down circa the 8th century BC, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, along with the Odyssey, another epic poem attributed to Homer, which tells of Odysseus's experiences after the events of the Iliad.[2] In the modern vulgate (the standard accepted version), the Iliad contains 15,693 lines, divided into 24 books; it is written in Homeric Greek, a literary amalgam of Ionic Greek and other dialects. It is usually grouped in the Epic Cycle.

This was the first book in my 2025 reading list, thought I would listen to it first and then read it. This is pretty good!

I will give credit where credit is due: he did not shy away from the opening poem of the Iliad, like most scholars do, but he reads it like it was a grocery list.

So far, ''oversarcastic productions'' are the ones that give the best narration of this poem.

Thank you for this. I was watching a documentary with my Father and when a mention came upon our ears which was from The Iliad by Homer, I got too curious; and even though I was reading another book: The Picture of Dorian Gray, and had to check this out. Much alms if I could give!
