The other Strife is presumably she who appears in Homer's Iliad Book IV ; equated with Enyo as sister of Ares and so presumably daughter of Zeus and Hera:

Homer expressed her relationship with Zeus delicately in the Iliad, in which she declares to Zeus, " I am Cronus ' eldest daughter, and am honourable not on this ground only, but also because I am your wife, and you are king of the gods.

She was already mentioned in Homer's Iliad which relates her prideful hubris, for which she was punished by Leto, who sent Apollo and Artemis, with the loss of all her children, and her nine days of abstention from food during which time her children lay unburied.

in which she is mentioned by Achilles to Priam in Homer's Iliad is as a stock type for mourning.

Themis is not wrathful: she, " of the lovely cheeks ", was the first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus ( Iliad xv.

In Homer's Iliad ( Book 19 ) she is called eldest daughter of Zeus with no mother mentioned.

Homer's Iliad ( xxiv. 209 ) speaks generally of the Moira, who spins the thread of life for men at their birth ; she is Moira Krataia " powerful Moira " ( xvi. 334 ) or there are several Moirai ( xxiv. 49 ).

According to the Iliad Helen was still unaware of her brothers ' deaths in the tenth year of the Trojan War, since during Book III she looks for them among the Greek host and is surprised not to see them.

At Iliad 14. 249 – 61, Hypnos, the minor god of sleep, reminds Hera of an old favor after she asks him to put Zeus to sleep.

Though she does not appear among the lists of nereids in Iliad XVIII or Bibliotheke 1. 2. 7, such an ancient island nymph in other contexts might gain any of various Olympian parentages: she was thought of as a daughter of Poseidon with any of several primordial sea-goddesses — with whom she might be identified herself — notably Halia or Amphitrite.

Walter Burkert notes the presence of Tethys in the episode of Iliad XIV that the Ancients called the " Deception of Zeus ", where Hera, to mislead Zeus, says she wants to go to Oceanus, " origin of the gods " and Tethys " the mother ".

* The Trojan War tapestry referred to by Homer in Book III of the Iliad, where Iris disguises herself as Laodice and finds Helen " working at a great web of purple linen, on which she was embroidering the battles between Trojans and Achaeans, that Ares had made them fight for her sake.

In Homer's Iliad, Helen looks down from the walls of Troy and wonders why she does not see her brothers among the Achaeans.

According to the Byzantine chronicler Anna Comnena, she was " like another Pallas, if not a second Athena ," and, in the Alexiad, Anna attributes to her a quote from the Iliad.

Although the sea-nymph Thetis appears only at the beginning and end of the Iliad, being absent for much of the middle, she is a surprisingly powerful and nearly omniscient figure when she is present.

Unlike later writers, Homeric lines more commonly employ the feminine caesura ; an example occurs in Iliad I. 5 “... and every bird ; thus the plan of Zeus came to fulfillment ”:

Another story is the one of his love for Nireus, who was " the most beautiful man who came beneath Ilion " ( Iliad, 673 ).

According to a legend, when Phidias was asked what inspired him — whether he climbed Mount Olympus to see Zeus, or whether Zeus came down from Olympus so that Pheidias could see him — the artist answered that he portrayed Zeus according to Book One, verses 528 – 530 of Homer's Iliad:

It is unknown exactly when and how the Mausoleum came to ruin, but according to Eustathius in the 12th century on his commentary of the Iliad, " it was and is a wonder ".

The famous ancient Greek poet and writer, Homer, first mentioned the island in his masterpieces, the Iliad and the Odyssey, stating that the first inhabitants of it were the son of King Dardanos of Troy called Zakynthos and his men and that they first came on the island around 1500 – 1600 BC.

In one of the commentary sequences, the film's writer, David Benioff, said that when it came to deciding whether to follow Iliad or do what was best for the film, they always decided with what was best for the film.

In medieval times Homer's Iliad was taken to be based on historical facts, and the Trojan War came to be considered as seminal in the genealogies of European monarchies.

The term " epic " originally came from the poetic genre exemplified by such works as the Iliad, Epic of Gilgamesh, or the Odyssey.

One of the greatest Homerists of our time, Frederick M. Combellack, argues that when it is assumed The Iliad and The Odyssey are oral poems, the postulated single redactor called Homer cannot be either credited with or denied originality in choice of phrasing.

Other theories of origin are compatible with the formulaic theory: Beowulf may contain a design for terror, and The Iliad may have a vast hysteron-proteron pattern answering to a ceramic pattern produced during the Geometric Period in pottery.

The function of Apollo as a " healer " is connected with Paean ( Παιών-Παιήων ), the physician of the Gods in the Iliad, who seems to come from a more primitive religion.

In the Iliad, Apollo is the healer under the gods, but he is also the bringer of disease and death with his arrows, similar to the function of the terrible Vedic god of disease Rudra.

* In the Iliad xvi, Apollo washes the black blood from the corpse of Sarpedon and anoints it with ambrosia, readying it for its dreamlike return to Sarpedon's native Lycia.

When the grammatical dual form of Ajax is used in the Iliad, it was once believed that it indicated the lesser Ajax fighting side-by-side with Telamonian Ajax, but now it is generally thought that that usage refers to the Greater Ajax and his brother Teucer.

In the Iliad, Ajax is notable for his abundant strength and courage, seen particularly in two fights with Hector.

The identification of Ajax with the family of Aeacus was chiefly a matter which concerned the Athenians, after Salamis had come into their possession, on which occasion Solon is said to have inserted a line in the Iliad ( 2. 557 – 558 ), for the purpose of supporting the Athenian claim to the island.

This may take the form of a purpose ( as in Milton, who proposed " to justify the ways of God to men "); of a question ( as in the Iliad, which Homer initiates by asking a Muse to sing of Achilles ' anger ); or of a situation ( as in the Song of Roland, with Charlemagne in Spain ).

When Heracles took the cattle of Geryon, he shot Hera in the right breast with a triple-barbed arrow: the wound was incurable and left her in constant pain, as Dione tells Aphrodite in the Iliad, Book V. Afterwards, Hera sent a gadfly to bite the cattle, irritate them and scatter them.

The association with Chios dates back to at least Semonides of Amorgos, who cited a famous line in the Iliad ( 6. 146 ) as by " the man of Chios ".

It is crucial, however, not to underestimate the creative and transforming power of subsequent tradition: for instance, Achilles, the most important character of the Iliad, is strongly associated with southern Thessaly, but his legendary figure is interwoven into a tale of war whose kings were from the Peloponnese.

It shows Ptolemy and his wife or sister Arsinoe III standing beside a seated poet, flanked by figures from the Odyssey and Iliad, with the nine Muses standing above them and a procession of worshippers approaching an altar, believed to represent the Alexandrine Homereion.
