Homer and the Iliad - Sri Aurobindo

by Sri Aurobindo and Ilion

This monograph briefly introduces two major epic poems about the famous Trojan war.

The Iliad was written by Homer a few centuries after the siege of Troy. In the 20th century, more than two millenia later, Sri Aurobindo, the great seer and poet of modern India, wrote Ilion.

In both epics the main quality abundantly displayed is heroism but seeds of the other qualities can be seen.
