The Iliad (sometimes referred to as the Song of Ilion or Song of Ilium) is an ancient Greek epic poem in dactylic hexameter, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles.
The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC. Recent statistical modelling based on language evolution gives a date of 760-710 BC.

![PRINCESS OF TROY [1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/402489184-256-k368957.jpg)
PRINCESS OF TROY [1]
Ten years have gone by since the fall of Troy. But for Althea, daughter of the great Hector, the war never ended. Now, finally out of the shadows after a decade of hiding, her mission is simple: Kill them all. One by one. Kill every Greek who had a hand in destroying Troy. Every Greek who survived while her world burned. From the chambers of a fallen queen to the camp of a Myrmidon commander, her vengeance is silent, swift, and merciless. Her final target is the most cunning mind of the war: Odysseus, King of Ithaca. To reach him, she infiltrates his court, expecting a monster. Instead she finds a weary king, a clever queen, and... Telemachus. Kind, honest, perceptive Telemachus. The greatest flaw in her plan. The only flaw. ▸ Princess of Troy: Book #1 ▸ COMPLETED ©Fleur-DeLys Highest Ranking: #1 in Ancient Greece #1 in Troy #1 in Epic The Musical #1 in Greek #1 in Iliad #1 in OdysseusConcluida
Kairos
*For fans of Percy Jackson, Greek/Roman mythology and epic historical battles* "In hindsight, knocking someone out with a thousand year old artefact was probably not a good idea." After a run in with her ex sends her catapulting into the past, Adelaide has to navigate the battles she studied in real life, while posing as several historical figures such as Octavia; Octavian of Romes' sister. With the overhanging threat of perpetual reincarnation thanks to the egotistical sun-god Apollo, Adelaide struggles to deal with moral dilemmas about changing the fate of doomed soldiers and finding her way back to her correct time. *I wrote this book as part of my EPQ for school and it is by no means perfect due to the small time frame I had to write it, but I thought I would post it here anyway!*Concluida
The Aeneid By Virgil Written 19 B.C.E
The Aeneid is an epic poem written in 12 books and is modeled in part on the great Greek epic poems, on Homer's Iliadand Odyssey, and on Apollonius' Argonautica. The Iliad describes the exploits of Achilles and other Greek heroes in the Trojan War (the same war which forced Aeneas to leave Troy and is described in Book II of the Aeneid) whilst the Odyssey describes how Ulysses (or Odysseus in Greek) wandered for many years, trying to return home after the Trojan War. The first six books of the Aeneid parallel the Odyssey because they describe Aeneas' search for a home. Aeneas even stops in many of the same places that Odysseus did. There is an important difference, however, for whilst Odysseus was trying to return to his original home, Aeneas must find a new place in which to settle and make his home. The second six books parallel the Iliad, for they describe the war in Italy just as the Iliad describes the Trojan War. Again, there are many parallels. For example, the Trojans are besieged inside their fort in Italy just as they were trapped inside Troy. But again there is an important difference, since the Iliad describes how the Trojans lost the war and Troy fell but in theAeneid the Trojans win the war in Italy and get the chance to build a new city. Virgil imitates many scenes from both the Iliad and the Odyssey in his epic, but he always changes them in significant ways so that they illustrate his own Roman themes. One of the most important differences between Homer's epics and the Aeneid is that it can be read as a patriotic poem whilst the Iliad and the Odyssey are poems about individuals and their adventures.Concluida
Journey of Odysseus( Epic Canon)
The tale of a King favored by the gods, faced trials and suffering on his way home. Authors' Note I used the flow of the story using the Epic Musical I realized that this isn't like completely accurate to the Homer original story. Also I used Chatgpt to translate to old English and it's hard to read 🤔 I will write this book again to follow the original and not use Old English.😅Concluida

TROY: The War Of Gods & Mortals
"Is there no one else?" - Achilles "All men must die, but we are not men. We are Amazons." - Princess Diana When the grandson of Nereus and the granddaughter of Zeus cross swords, war erupts, and only one will live to tell the tale. Inspired by the movie Troy, this story reimagines the clash of warriors, gods, and destiny. For decades, Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, has waged war to unite Greece under his rule. Only Thessaly remains unconquered. Meanwhile, his brother, Menelaus, King of Sparta, seeks peace with Troy, the last great rival to Greek dominance. But peace is shattered when Paris, prince of Troy, seduces Helen, Queen of Sparta, and takes her back to his city. Enraged, Menelaus calls upon Agamemnon for vengeance. Seeing an opportunity to expand his power, Agamemnon assembles an army of 50,000 warriors and launches a thousand ships toward Troy. Among them is Achilles, son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus, a warrior of unmatched skill and fury. A demigod with the blood of the gods coursing through his veins, Achilles fights for Greece, yet his disdain for Agamemnon threatens to unravel the fragile alliance. But the Greeks are not the only ones with divine blood on their side. Troy is protected by Diana, daughter of Athena and the mortal King Priam. A fierce Amazonian commander, Diana is a warrior born of wisdom and war, trained to lead, to conquer, and to protect her people at any cost. When she faces Achilles, their rivalry is instant, two demigods destined to clash in a battle that will shake the heavens. Swords will shatter. Blood will spill. And amidst the chaos of war, something forbidden begins to ignite between them, passion as dangerous as the battlefield itself. Will Achilles bring Troy to its knees, or will Diana prove that wisdom and strength together are mightier than rage? This story is inspired by Troy but takes its own path, weaving mythology, war, and fate into an epic tale of love, honor, and destiny. Lewa Kulture 2021©
