In the epic poem, The Iliad, rage erupts on the battlefield. The Trojan War rages on, fueled by a stolen woman, Helen of Troy. Achilles, the greatest Greek warrior, withdraws from the fight in a fury, leaving his comrades to face the relentless Trojan onslaught. With gods meddling in the mortal struggle, heroes rise and fall, and the fate of civilizations hangs in the balance.
