In which Neptune, moved by pity for the beleaguered Achaeans and angered at Jove’s favour, descends from his golden palace beneath the sea to invigorate the Greek warriors, inspiring their courage and prowess upon the field. The mighty contest swells fiercely around the ships as heroes on both sides clash with resolute valour, while Hector leads the Trojan charge and renewed counsel stirs amid the tumult of war.

The Iliad Book 13

Sing, O Muse, of the word that endures beyond bronze and flame. Here in The Homer Library, the ancient song rises anew, of swift-footed heroes and wine-dark seas, of towering walls and the wrath that shatters kings. Hear the clash of spear on shield, the lament of queens, the cunning of wanderers longing for hearth and homeland. As once the blind bard lifted his lyre among listening halls, so now the tale is carried upon living breath - faithful, unbroken, and whole. Each episode unfolds the sacred verses in their fullness, that glory may not fade and memory may not perish. Come, then. Sit among warriors and wanderers. And let the story be sung again.
