The Iliad

One of the foremost achievements in Western literature, Homer's Iliad tells the story of the darkest episode of the Trojan War. At its center is Achilles, the greatest warrior-champion of the Greeks, and his conflict with his leader Agamemnon. Interwoven in the tragic sequence of events are powerfully moving descriptions of the ebb and flow of battle, the besieged city of Ilium, the feud between the gods, and the fate of mortals.

A timeless classic. If you really like mythology you'll love The Iliad, and even otherwise its an incredibly story and an amazing read. It definitely feels old, but that's a good thing in this case.
