I love The Iliad. Listening or reading the prose just puts me into a good mood; it flows so well. I like that there isn't too much "adventure" and that this part of the bigger story (of which there are many poems - The Iliad and The Odyssey are but two of a larger group of poems) is focused more on the psychology of the characters and the realities of war. It talks about the glory and tragedy of war, the objectification of people during battle, the importance of self-awareness and staying rooted in reality, the harm of rage and the power of forgiveness, and sacrifice. And more. This is definitely a book about ideas and the slow development of character.
This is definitely a story to read over and over again as each time you'll get something new out of it. Highly, highly recommend.
