The main theme of the Iliad is revenge, particularly the revenge Achilleus seeks on Agamemnon after Agamemnon steals his mistress. This revenge causes Achilleus to withdraw from the fighting for an extended period of time, costing many Greeks their lives and almost costing the Greek army the war. He only rejoins the battle when his pride causes the death of his dearest friend, Patroklos, and even then, it is again with the intent of revenge, this time against Hektor, who killed Patroklos.

The Iliad and the Odyssey are two epic poems written by Homer (Ομηρος) around the 9th century BC. They are two of the oldest recorded written works in history. The Iliad deals with a ten-year war between the Greeks and Trojans, called the Siege of Troy, (Ilion=Troy). It centers around Achilles, the great Greek hero who was dipped in the River Styx when he was young and whose only weak spot was his heel. He was killed when Apollo helped one of his enemies shoot an arrow into his heel, which is why we 1) call part of our heel the Achilles' Heel, and 2) call our weak spot our Achilles' Heel. The Odyssey is about Odysseus's voyage from the war back home to Ithaca, which took another 10 years. There are many translations of these two poems, including shortened versions which are easier to understand.
