SUMMARY: GORE OF WAR, GLORY AND GRIEF.
A must read if you love Greek Mythology, though you need some context from the Epic Cycle [books before the Iliad] and some context to understand and appreciate this art better.
Graphic: War
Moderate: Death, Gore, and Blood

Minor: Rape and Trafficking
Trafficking and rape: although neither of these words are present in the text, slave girls are given and taken as gifts and are explicitly slept with. It isn't glorified or condemned - it is a fact in their world that this will happen to conquered nations.introverted_reads's review against another edition

I am not a big fan of war focused narratives, so that part is on me. But the descriptions are simply too in-depth. I also would have an existential crisis if I lived in this book, as the Gods seem to always do what they want, except when they don't, so it doens't even make anything feel important.
If you like lists, then boy do I have a story for you. The lists in this book are endless, and include: the name of every ship being sailed including a description and how many men are on board - the name of every person who dies ever in this war, how they die, and who they are related to - the names of everyone that participates in any sort of game, wager, race, etc. A list lovers dream, truely.
