In which Achilles pours forth his wrath upon the Trojans at the river Scamander, provoking both mortal strife and divine quarrels, as gods contend fiercely and the very elements rise against him. Yet even as the river god and heavenly host assail him, the mighty son of Peleus drives the routed Trojans within the walls of Ilius, their refuge from despair and death.

The Iliad Book 21

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.
