Ἰλιάς is a poetry first published in 1505 by the classical author Όμηρος. Indexed in KitabiHub under Poetry, Classical Arabic Literature, Modern Arabic Fiction, Literary Criticism, Folktales & Heritage, it sits alongside other poetry on the same shelf.

"Iliad" is a word that means "a poem about Ilium" (i.e., Troy), and Homer's great epic poem has been known as "The Iliad" ever since the Greek historian Herodotus so referred to it in the fifth century B.C.
