Iliad
By Homer
translated by Samuel Butler
Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought
countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send
hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs
and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the
day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first
fell out with one another.
There are tons of translations of Homer's epic Iliad, this one is my faverite, you can also find some other visions online such as, 1, 2.
Here is the map at that time, so that you may find the location Homer mentioned.
