Synopsis
In the final days of the decade-long Trojan War, the schemes of men and gods clash loudly, as plagues and bloodshed decimate both sides. The violence represented here in the actions of Achilles and Agamemnon, Helen and Hector, is relentless, but it serves a great purpose, as Homer uses this epic story to comment on the detriment of hubris, honor, and human folly.
