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.

I am unfamiliar with using You tube except to watch the occasional show and do not know why the comments disappear.

Hi, I left a comment to your video "The Snows of Kilimanjaro". I used my another account to write the comment. It was about one year ago. I wrote that I am an art teacher who was looking for someone to discus some topics on art and literature. My native language is Russian so I was looking for some one who will be interested in Russian classics, etc.
