Great Poem of humanity

Iliad is harder to read than Odyssey, but it is as rich as this one, and the person who attents, without contemporary prejudices, to the details of this work, to this person will be revealed one of the few, really few jewels that humanity wrote in its adventure. May you admire the star calle Homer.

Barron's provides solid summaries and insight.

Barron's book notes for the Iliad are, believe it or not, better than Cliff's. The chapter summaries are longer and more detailed, but not too long. And, it helps one to understand the complexities of Homer.
