ILIAD BOOK 1: Achilles Gets Mad Because Agamemnon Is A Child

In this video we're breaking down book 1 of Homer's "Iliad"! If you have to read the text for class and need some help in how the plot is moving, look no further. Today Erica is going through each and every motion of Book 1 from Apollo raining down a plague on the greek camps, to Achilles and Agamemnon fighting, and through to the god on Olympus squabbling about who they want to win the Trojan war.

The first version of the Iliad I suggest you get is probably the Hammond translation. It's in prose meaning it reads more like a story than poetry, and the language is super easy (no crazy words just to sound smart for the sake of it!) You can grab it on amazon here for £6: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Penguin-Clas...
