Synopsis "La Colera (in Spanish)"

Dos ejércitos llevan diez años batallando a las puertas de Troya. De un lado, los defensores de la ciudad, comandados por Héctor. Del otro, la alianza de griegos capitaneada por Agamenón. Cansados, hartos y polvorientos, los aqueos se enfrentan a su mayor momento de crisis. Agamenón ha ofendido a Aquiles, el de los pies ligeros, su principal guerrero. Aquiles monta en cólera y decide retirar a sus fuerzas del conflicto. Nadie consigue hacerle cambiar de idea, ni su amado compañero Patroclo ni su leal camarada Ulises. La ira de Aquiles es inflexible, y la sombra del desastre se cierne sobre la armada griega. Esta es la historia contada por Homero, la historia de la rabia de un hombre que duró varias semanas en una playa del estrecho de los Dardanelos. La primera historia de la civilización europea.
