The reason why he wrote the Iliad was to show that honor, pride, and revenge (The Honor Society) caused war and death, which meant nothing at the end. As a humanity, he wanted us to think with reason (Shame Society) because it did not lead to war, it lead to justice and duty, which means a lot more than glorified honor and pride.
There are also lesser themes of obeying the gods and having courage.
