Greek culture,gods ,deities and fantastic stories.
It's a Greek mythological Epic.Brutal fight scenes, interference of Greek Gods into the lives of Greek people, and their human like behavior. It's all about the rage of Achean warrior Achilles and his rage.

Condition was perfect. Classic to read. Although hard to get through because of style writing. I had to reread some passages to make sure I understood what was happening.
