Primo capolavoro della letteratura occidentale, scritto probabilmente intorno all'VIII secolo a.C., l'Iliade è, insieme con l'Odissea, uno dei pilastri di tutta la cultura occidentale. Nel poema si narrano i 51 giorni della guerra di Troia, dall'ira di Achille ai funerali di Ettore, densi di battaglie ed imprese nelle quali si intrecciano continuamente i destini di dèi ed eroi.

Questo volume nasce da un progetto di rilettura del poema omerico destinato alla scena teatrale. Baricco smonta e rimonta l'"Iliade" creando ventun monologhi, corrispondenti ad altrettanti personaggi del poema e al personaggio di un aedo che racconta, in chiusura, l'assedio e la caduta di Troia. L'autore "rinuncia" agli dei e punta sulle figure che si muovono sulla terra, sui campi di battaglia, nei palazzi achei, dietro le mura della città assediata.
