The Trojan War took place sometime between 1300 and 1200 BCE.
About 800 BCE, Homer translated the cycle of songs, which existed in native oral narrative and tradition, to an epic composition called,
The Iliad. Although it covers only a few days in the history of that war, all the elements are woven together in a complex story of the life and the
ethos of an Heroic Age.
Our goal now is to translate this epic from text onto a computer screen, using
multimedia format.
Homer's The Iliad Translated by Robert Fitzgerald and The Iliad, The Story of Achillês, Translated by
W.H.D. Rouse have been used as guides.
Please note, each book and page of this multimedia work is
equipped with links to Homer's The Iliad, as Translated
by Samuel Butler. The Butler version is an old translation
which is in the public domain. Butler's edition uses
Latin names.

Iliad represents an evolution of internet media. As new programs and techniques were made available they were applied to the project.
Interactive full duplex Flash was made obsolete in 2019 and was, in this recording d-evolved to one way, single duplex MP4 video in 2021.
Browser specific JAVA applets which where also no longer supported were deleted and transformed to basic HTML also in 2021.
Book 24 was withheld in 2007 awaiting new media evolution. It remains in limbo.
