The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Usually considered to have been written down circa the 8th century BC, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, along with the Odyssey, another epic poem attributed to Homer, which tells of Odysseus's experiences after the events of the Iliad. In the modern vulgate (the standard accepted version), the Iliad contains 15,693 lines, divided into 24 books; it is written in Homeric Greek, a literary amalgam of Ionic Greek and other dialects. It is usually grouped in the Epic Cycle.
Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Mycenaean Greek states (Achaeans), it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles
**The Iliad is a work of fiction. None of the Greek Gods exist or ever have existed. There is only one true God Yahweh, whose son Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

Please continue doing more readings! 🙏 This really helped me with books 1-15 for school but now I cant find another free Audiobook for the Lombardo translation and I'm terrible at reading on my own!

[@KraussAudioBooks]

I am so sorry! I will continue soon. Life has kind of gotten in the way unfortunately :(

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Achilles didnt have a baby complicating matters! But yes I agree

[@IrinaP-gs9ju]

Your voice-over of Hera's seduction in book 14 is something else! I wonder what you plan (if anything) to do next after the Iliad?

[@KraussAudioBooks]

Thanks for the kind compliment. Newborn has slowed down the progress on Iliad but hopefully finish it within a month. After that I would like to do the New Testament of the bible in the Young's Literal Translation

[@IrinaP-gs9ju]

@@KraussAudioBooks Woah! That's terrific. The New testament's in my reading list. Warmest congratulations on your newborn!
