@SW-User Yes there is a lot of speculation about the origins of the Iliad.
Fascinating book.
A book about a man who refuses to fight, in a pointless war.

@helenS I also read the Iliad this year. Also amazing. And I guess we will never know for sure if Homer was the actual author of both or any of them. But it does seem to be more plausible that it all came from a tradition of oral poets. in the end I am just so glad they survived thousands of years and came to us. :)
