Book overview
The Trojan War like you've never heard it before-complete, compelling, and finally, fully told.
For over three thousand years, Homer's Iliad has thrilled and mystified readers. It begins in the middle, ends without warning, and tosses mortals and gods together in glorious chaos. It's brilliant-but it's only one piece of a much bigger story.
In The Full Disclosure Iliad, storyteller and modern bard Jeff Wright fills in the blanks. Drawing from Homer, the lost epics of the Trojan War Cycle, ancient plays, Roman retellings, and modern scholarship, he brings the full epic to life-from the divine spark that started it all to the fall of Troy itself. No missing backstory. No unresolved endings. Just one sweeping, battle-scarred, heartbreak-filled tale that finally makes sense.
Told with humor, heart, and a deep love for myth, this is Homer for the modern age-rich with rage and glory, beauty and grief, and, of course, one very famous wooden horse.
Whether you're new to the classics or already on a first-name basis with Achilles, The Full Disclosure Iliad invites you to experience the Trojan War as it was meant to be told: epic, human, and utterly unforgettable.
Jeff Wright is a twenty-first-century Homeric bard, bringing ancient myths roaring back to life on stage and to nearly two million listeners through his award-winning podcasts Trojan War: The Podcast and Odyssey: The Podcast.
