This is a story of absorbing interest both to young and old. Itrelates in a simple prose narrative the leading incidents of one ofthe greatest literary works of the world--the Iliad of Homer.

No one with any claim to literary culture canafford to be ignorant of them.
The object of the work is two-fold--first, to present to young peoplean interesting story which will be read with pleasure and at the sametime cultivate a taste for good literature; second, to give a popularknowledge of this famous work of Homer and thus afford a sort ofstepping-stone to one of the grandest poetical structures of all time.
