The Iliad by Homer is a legendary sonnet set during the Trojan Conflict, zeroing in on the contention between the Greek legend Achilles and the Trojan sovereign Hector. The sonnet starts with Achilles' indignation after his authority, Agamemnon, claims away his reward, the lady Briseis. Achilles pulls out from the fight, prompting Greek misfortunes. As the Trojans, drove by Hector, make strides, Achilles' companion Patroclus wears Achilles' protection and is killed by Hector. Irritated, Achilles gets back to fight, kills Hector, and disrespects his body. At last, Lord Priam of Troy asks Achilles for his child's return, prompting a snapshot of shared pain. The sonnet closes with Hector's burial service, depicting topics of honor, anger, and the human expense of war. (Summary by Dream Audiobooks<
