Licking their wounds, the Trojans have withdrawn behind their impenetrable city walls. All, that is, save their most celebrated warrior, Hector, who refuses to retreat. And so the stage is set for the Achaeons' mightiest hero, Achilles, to face Hector in a single combat that may decide the future of this epic struggle. It's the final chapter of this timeless work that has spoken to countless generations of the triumphs and tragedies of war.

دیگه گفتم یه سریشو تموم کنم بذارم کنار بعد برگردم ادامه خود کتاب رو بخونم.
سری کمیک بسیار خلاصه شده ایلیاد بود.
مثلکه سری کمیک برا یه سری آثار کلاسیک داره که شاید برم سراغشون ببینم چه مدلین.

نمره‌ی کلی مجموعه ۳.۵/۵

خلاصه‌ای از کل داستان (با چند صفحه مقدمه) در کمتر از ۲۰۰ صفحه کامیک. گزینه‌ی خوبیه برای پیشنهاد به کسی که حوصله‌ی خوندن متن اصلی رو نداره. اما زبانش هم خیلی ابتدایی نیست.

Really good finish to the series. We see the final confrontation between Hector and Achilles. Surprisingly we don’t see the Trojan horse.

Good adaptation of Homer’s poem.
