Review: μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ Πηληϊάδεω Ἀχιλῆος οὐλομένην, ἣ μυρί᾽ Ἀχαιοῖς ἄλγε᾽ - Not a bad version. I'd like to find a copy where Hector kills the insufferable git Achilles mind. Hector gets such a bad press and he is, apart from possibly Patroclus, the only real hero in the book, the chap who overcomes his fear to face his worst nightmare. OK so he get's killed but heroism is facing and overcoming fear not being an unstoppable murderous thug in impenetrable armour who has numerous hissy fits. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0140275363 | | Best Sellers Rank | 20,850 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 17 in War Poetry (Books) 30 in Criticism on Poetry & Poets 45 in Epics | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,490) | | Dimensions | 21.34 x 14.48 x 4.83 cm | | Edition | Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9780140275360 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0140275360 | | Item weight | 784 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 704 pages | | Publication date | 29 April 1999 | | Publisher | Penguin Classics | ## Images ![The Iliad: (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FVVdj9w4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium deckled page edges *by D***N on 18 October 2025* I bought this PB edition of Fagles' translation specifically for the deckled page edges.

I'd like to find a copy where Hector kills the insufferable git Achilles mind. Hector gets such a bad press and he is, apart from possibly Patroclus, the only real hero in the book, the chap who overcomes his fear to face his worst nightmare.

It is accompanied by an excellent essay on the background and history of rhe ten years war between the Greek city-states and Troy,fomented and maintained by the gods. It has very helpful notes on the background, the pronunciation of names, the places and a very full index. Even those who know the basic story well will find that the book sheds new light on the pre-classical world and on human behaviour.The introduction alone is worth the price ## Frequently Bought Together - The Iliad - The Odyssey - The Aeneid (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52647542-the-iliad-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/52647542-the-iliad-penguin-classics-deluxe-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
