Heroes of Homer's Iliad Canvas Notebook

"Fire now! Bring it up,

and all together raise a battle shout!

Zeus gave this day to us as a recompense

for everything: now we may burn the ships

that came against the gods' will to our shore."

Iliad 15.718-720

The Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by Achaeans after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaos, king of Sparta. The hero Achilles, the son of the mortal Peleus, and Thetis, an immortal sea nymph, is the greatest Greek warrior in the story of the Trojan War; the plot of Homer's Iliad is driven by Achilles' anger. 

The heroes on this coffee mug are; Paris, Hector, Agamemnon, Menelaos, Odysseus, Achilleus, Diomedes, Nestor
