    		Homer has been hailed as the father of all poetry, and the Iliad has survived as a masterpiece for all time. The Iliad, within a three-day period of the Trojan War, tells the story of the wrath of Achilles against King Agamemnon. The battle episodes reveal the characters of the warriors, their strength and their weaknesses.
