Summary of the Iliad:
he Iliad is an epic about one incident in the Trojan War. At the beginning, the leader of the invading Greek army, Agamemnon, takes for himself the captive woman with whom his best warrior, Achilles, has been living. Achilles responds by withdrawing from fighting and praying to Zeus to let the other side (Trojans) win for a while so that his own side will see how badly it needs him. Zeus agrees, and for the next few days the Trojans gain the upper hand to the extent of invading the Greek camp. Finally Achilles' best friend, Patroclus, is so moved by the sight of their companions coming in wounded that he persuades Achilles to let him fight in Achilles' place, wearing Achilles' armor. Achilles consents, and Patroclus is killed by the Trojan leader, Hector, who takes the armor off him and puts it on. Achilles now forgets his quarrel with Agamemnon and rushes back into battle as soon as new armor can be made for him--and despite being warned twice that he is fated to die soon or next after Hector. He kills Hector and then refuses to let his body be buried until Hector's aged father, King Priam of Troy, comes to Achilles at night and offers ransom. Achilles accepts and gives up the body for Priam to take back to Troy. "Thus they buried Hector, tamer of horses."
