THIS IS SO EPIC. I seriously recommend Peter Presets (YouTube channel) that reads and gives an analysis of each chapter. He helped me get through it and appreciate the entire value.
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.
