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.

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.moon_peach's review against another edition

The interesting parts are of course Archilles and Patroclus but also Hector.
He bares a lot of anger towards Paris for causing the war in the first place but surprisingly Helen says that he was always kind to her and we never really see him scold her only Paris. He is loved by the Trojans and you really see why.
By the way near the end Athena just socks Aphrodite and it's hilarious.
