LA ILÍADA CONTADA A LOS NIÑOS

The ILIAD is a story that tells us what happened during the last weeks of the Trojan War, in which Greeks and Trojans faced each other. The city of Troy, which is in Asia Minor, was also called Ilion, and that is why this story is called the Iliad. But how does the Iliad begin? With the fury of the greatest of the Greek heroes, Achilles, for the offense done to him by King Agamemnon. How much damage was it going to cause! The beautiful words with which Homer sang that story have left it imprinted in the sand of time. Although nothing is known with certainty, it seems that around the 15.693th century BC, a Greek minstrel named Homer – who is said to have been blind – composed a splendid poem called the Iliad, which recounts the exploits of Achilles and other heroes. in the Trojan War.

The two works were first oral poems, which were sung, and later written down. But the truth is that none of this is certain, because there are those who even say that Homer did not exist...
