The Illiad - Book 1

The Iliad is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. It is one of the oldest extant works of literature still widely read by modern audiences. As with the Odyssey, the poem is divided into 24 books and was written in a dactylic hexameter.

Set towards the end of the Trojan War, a ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Mycenaean Greek states, the poem depicts significant events in the siege's final weeks. In particular, it depicts a fierce quarrel between King Agamemnon and a celebrated warrior, Achilles. It is a central part of the Epic Cycle. The Iliad is often regarded as the first substantial piece of European literature.

I love listening to these stories. Amadeus' voice is calm and steady and helps to provide the perfect background while I'm focusing at work or calming my mind at the end of the day.

I really missed your work Amadeus, thank you for this new recording
