Fortunately,any time back to the age full of slavery and violence,we could not forget a upique civilization named ancient Greece,shining and charming.Different from other western civilization at the same time,it shows greet progress in democracy and culture,so it does in the science and ,of course ,literature.
Perfectly and objectively ,The Lliad tells us all respcets about the mystic Greece.Besides the fierce Troy ,we could find out so many details in their life as a normal Greek.They love ,climb social moutains,seek adventurous and lose their lives in all kinds of ways.The auther do go out of their way to sing the praises of human rights as well as power of fighting with nature and so-called gods.Stop laughing at their obscuration and ignorance and you will turly fell the significance of our first step in the progress of seeking equality and freedom.
As a literature work ,The Lliad impess us so many intersting and philosophic stories,some of which even become proverb.Also it creats so many characteristics in different ways from which lots of authors borrowed ideas ,including Sharkspere and his Odyssey.
Above all,thanks for Homeric and his great contribution.We can appreciate this uncommon work as well as wisdom of human race.

1. Historical Background:
The primitive Greeks were a mixture of three strains: 1) Pelasgians or Helladies; 2) Aegeo-Cretans; 3) Northern Indo-Europeans, variously called Achaeans, Danaans and Hellenes. After 1150 BC, there were three rather distinct racial groups: 1) Dorians (Sparta, Corinth, and Syracuse); 2) Aeolians (Boeotia, Lesbos, northwestern Asia Minor); 3) Ionians (Attica, Euboea, west-central Asia Minor).
The early period was one of Stone Age and Bronze Age cultures. The aboriginal inhabitants were perhaps overrun by Northern Indo-Europeans. During c.1800-1400 BC, Crete culture was prominent, yet in the Iron Age (c.1100-900 BC), there were major wars and migrations, and the Indo-Europeans broke up into the previously mentioned groups: Dorians, Ionians, and Aeolians. Semi-feudalistic, they tried to develop traditions which would justify their tribal and family pride. Over each tribal state there were a hereditary ruler (basileus), who possessed almost absolute political power and who served as military leader, judge, and priest. He was assisted by a council (boule) of nobles, who served in an advisory capacity. Then there was an assembly (agora) of freemen, who were without political significance but who could vote “yes” or “no” on certain issues presented to them.
Religion permeated all Greek life. The Greek gods were anthromorphic——little more than glorified human beings. They were capricious, amoral, and sometimes even immoral. They made their wills known through soothsayers, dreams, and oracles. The Greeks believed in an afterlife——a shadowy existence in Hades for the average man, punishment in Tartarus (a special section of Hades) for the wicked, and an unending bliss in Elysium for heroes.
2. Homer
He was a blind minstrel who lived in 850 BC. Tradition holds that Homer was born in Smyrna or in Chios. He was most likely born in an Ionian section of Asia Minor. The Iliad and the Odyssey perhaps were not written down till the middle of the 6th century. Homer used many sources, consolidated them, and then reworked them into the two poems. It is likely that there were some later interpolations. Discrepancies in tone, artistry, and erudition are explained by the belief that the Odyssey was written much later than the Iliad. Oral transmission of very long poems is now believed possible and likely.
3. Epic Tradition:
The adventure of a hero (usually a national hero) as the theme.
Invocation to muse (Calliope).
The beginning in medias res, plus recapitulation of earlier events.
Stereotyped epithets (gray-eyed Athena, white-armed Nausicaa).
Epic similes.
Extensive use of monologues.
Extensive use of monologues.
God’s intervention in human affairs.
Meter——classical (quantitative) dactylic hexameter, with the last foot in some lines a spondee.
