In 24 cantos, The Iliad deals with themes such as anger, honor, revenge, or fate, intertwined with the Trojan War as a backdrop. It also explores divine intervention and the complex relationship between the gods of Olympus and the mortal world.

"O Goddess! Sing the wrath of Peleusโ son
Achilles; sing the deadly wrath that brought
Woes numberless upon the Greeks, and swept
To Hades many a valiant soul, and gave
Their limbs a prey to dogs and birds of airโ"
