Ace your class with the help of CliffsNotes® To Go for Apple handheld devices. The brand you trust for fast, effective, and comprehensive literature review has been reinvented for the small screen to give you anywhere, anytime access to character, theme and plot summaries and analysis; interactive quiz features; and audio CramCasts covering the great works of literature.
Homer's The Iliad starts after the Achaians have been at war with the Trojans for nine years, trying to retrieve Helen of Troy, the wife of Menelaos who was kidnapped by Paris. The story follows Achilles, who would prefer to die a young hero in battle than live to be old but ordinary. Homer delivers long, detailed descriptions of combat (the Greek gods frequently join in battles), and The Iliad's numerous characters connect the Trojan War to many Greek myths.
