Homer's epic of the wrath of Achilles; cited among the futile antiquarian questions of the learned (which of the two Homeric epics was written first).
Reading notes
- On the Shortness of Life §13.2 Iliad
Homer's epic of the Trojan War; the order of its composition relative to the Odyssey is one of the idle scholarly puzzles.
- Moral Letters to Lucilius §88.40 Iliad
Homer's epic of the wrath of Achilles at Troy; Apion's numerological conceit concerns its opening verse.
