    The Iliad by Homer, translated by Samuel Butler - Book 2

    The only license I have taken from the original translation is changing some of the Roman names to the Greek ones.

    • Zeus sends a lying dream to Agamemnon, who thereon calls the chiefs in assembly, and proposes to sound the mind of his army
    • In the end they march to fight
    • Catalogue of the Achaean and Trojan forces.
