ILIADE

Elena, the most beautiful woman in the world, has been kidnapped by Paride and taken to Troy. To get her back, Menelao, her husband and the king of Spartan, gather together the Greek sovereigns and princes and declare war on Troy. We will see heroic warriors in action, we will develop a fondness for the adventures of the king and the commanders, we will follow the actions of strong and brave men, and we will observe the bad tempers of the fickle but powerful gods, who intervene in the fate of the characters. With a war which lasts ten long years as a backdrop, we can pick out some values which continue throughout time, such as friendship, honour, love and mutual respect.
