By: HOMER (c. 8th cen - c. 8th cen)
The Iliad, together with the Odyssey, is one
of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer. The
poem is commonly dated to the 8th or 7th century BC, and many scholars
believe it is the oldest extant work of literature in the Greek
language, making it the first work of European literature. The existence
of a single author for the poems is disputed as the poems themselves
show evidence of a long oral tradition and hence, multiple authors. The
poem concerns events during the tenth and final year in the siege of the
city of Iliun, or Troy, by the Greeks. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia
