The Iliad
In the tenth year of the siege of Troy, Achilles quarrels with Agamemnon over a captured woman and withdraws from the fighting. The Greek line buckles without him while gods take sides and men who know they will not all go home keep to the field. Rage in the tenth year of a war: glory and grief measured against a wall that must fall.
