I also enjoyed reading about Homer's "Illiad."  It's crazy to see how their attitude towards war is so different from that of other cultures and time periods.  They definitely celebrated the idea of war and based opinions about the characters on how they acted upon it. 

I believe it is a great piece in history and greatly illustrates the culture of ancient Greeks and their values.  It's a wonderful piece for future generations to read!
