Oh man this has got me really wanting to read The Iliad again. For those who haven't read it and think they might not since they kinda know the story of Troy I would really urge you to give it a shot. It's an amazing journey to go on.

I have Emily's translation of the Iliad and it's wonderful. I love reading excerpts aloud in the ancient history class I'm teaching.
