Product Description
One of the greatest ancient Greek epic poems, Iliad is dated to have been written some time before the eighth century B.C. Revolving around the events of the tenth and last year of siege of the city of Ilium, this is a brilliant epic. The trends and wrath of the fighters has been amazingly captured by Pope.
About The Author
Alexander Pope, master of the heroic couplet, is the best-known poet of the early eighteenth century. Several of Pope's couplets have been so often quoted that they seem like cliches now, which is an indication of the power and influence of his work. Some examples are A little learning is a dang'rous thing, To err is human, to forgive, divine, For fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Most of us, at some point in our lives, have quoted Pope without realizing it.
