Achilles is a bad ass warrior who was supposedly immortal except for his heel. It takes place in the tenth year of the Trojan War and ends before the Achaians build the Trojan Horse and win the war. The Iliad is not really the story of the Trojan War. That's the war where the Achaians (Greeks) won by using a giant wooden horse to fool the Trojans, hence the name Trojan Horse. Well, most people think the Iliad is the story of the Trojan War. Therefore, the Illiad is the story of Troy. He also wrote the Odyssey, another HUGE poem. Homer is the most famous of the Greek poets. The Iliad is an ancient Greek poem written by Homer. ![]()
