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. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles' looming death and the sack of Troy, prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, so that when it reaches an end, the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War. Alexander Pope (21 May 1688 – 30 May 1744) was an 18th-century English poet, best known for his satirical verse and for his translation of Homer. Famous for his use of the heroic couplet, he is the third-most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, after Shakespeare and Tennyson. [mehr]

In the Western classical tradition, Homer (/ˈhoʊmər/; Ancient Greek: Ὅμηρος [hómɛːros], Hómēros) is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of Greek epic poets. These epics lie at the beginning of the Western canon of literature, and have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. Whether and when he lived is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BC,[1] while other ancient sources claim that he lived much nearer to the supposed time of the Trojan War, in the early 12th century BC.[2] Most modern researchers place Homer in the 7th or 8th centuries BC.

Ich hatte die Ilias und die Odyssee beendet – hatte über Ereignisse berichtet, von deren Echtheit ich nicht ganz überzeugt war, hatte mit dichterischer Freiheit neue Götter-Realitäten in diese Welt gesetzt, doch der Clou, die Pointe, war mir, dem Erzähler, entgangen. Ich erhielt eine Einladung auf den Olymp. Waren die Götter beeindruckt von meiner schriftstellerischen Leistung oder wünschten sie Korrekturen vorzunehmen? Hermes ließ mir kaum Zeit für Reisevorbereitungen, so dass ich unrasiert dann Athene gegenüberstand. Aber nur einen Moment, denn sofort sackte ich vorschriftsmäßig zu Boden und verharrte in dieser devoten Haltung. „Wie sollen wir Achtung haben vor Euch, wenn Ihr uns zu sehr achtet? Kein Wunder, dass wir uns einmischen in Eure Belange. Ist das wünschenswert? Den Trojanischen Krieg haben wir usurpiert, ihn zum Götter-Krieg gemacht; nur weil es ein zahlenmäßig beachtliches Spektakel ist – fühlen wir uns deswegen angezogen davon, begierig mitzumischen, glaubend, es handele sich um etwas Bedeutungsvolles?“ ...

omerus (Ancient Greek: Ὅμηρος [hómɛːros], Hómēros), best known as his anglicised name Homer, is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he had a lasting effect on the Western canon. Whether and when he lived is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE.[1] Pseudo-Herodotus estimates that he was born 622 years before Xerxes I placed a pontoon bridge over the Hellespont in 480 BCE, which would place him at 1102 BCE, 168 years after the fall of Troy in 1270 BCE. These two end points are 252 years apart, representative of the differences in dates given by the other sources.[2] [mehr]
