The Iliad by Gareth Hinds
Set during the final weeks of the Trojan War, this graphic retelling follows the rage of Achilles after Agamemnon seizes his captive, Briseis, and Achilles withdraws from battle, tipping the balance in favor of the Trojans led by Hector. Gods intervene and warriors clash across brutal, vividly rendered battles until the death of Patroclus drives Achilles back to slaughter and prophecy's shadow. Amid ferocious duels, honor-bound pride, and overwhelming grief, the story culminates in a heartrending encounter between a grieving father and the killer of his son, probing mortality, fate, and the human cost of war.
