the iLLiad 

The iLLiad was a psychedelic pop band from Ashland, Ohio and originally active from 2003-2007. It originally started as a solo project in the early/mid 2000's but eventually became a full scale band. The members were frontman/vocalist/guitarist Kyle Pittman, lead guitarist Andy Cyphert, bassist Jeff Sanger, organist Anne Flemming, and drummer Bobby DeSeyn. They were signed to record label World in Sound and released one album "A Sad Day on Pluto" in December, 2007 and broke up just after.
"Dude I just heard of this amazing band."

Everyone's definition of Iliad here on UD is Whack (cept for maybe munkee's). First of all, a poem doesn't have to rhyme (dumbass).

The word Iliad roughly translates to Troy.
The epic poem Iliad was supposedly written by a man named Homer, who may or may not have existed.

Greek epic poem by Homer; widely considered the first work in Western literature. Tells the story of a small period of time during the Trojan War, focusing mainly on the character Achilles.

The original Greek version was spoken in rhythm to a lyre by a traveling musician-writer known as a rhapsode, not unlike a modern rapper. In fact, the term rapper comes from the word rhapsode.

There are many English translations, many of which are in the form of prose rather than poetry.

It is a very slow-moving story, regardless of translation, mostly because half of it is spent shouting out the names of hundreds of different Greeks and Trojans who died during the war, due to the fact that it would have been recited for Greek aristocrats who believed they had ancestry from that period.
Student 1: My English teacher's making me read the Iliad.
Student 2: Bummer, dude!

Homer: Thus ended Erophobus of Lesbos. Holla!
Greek Nobleman: Dude! He was totally my great-great-uncle!

The most epic story ever! The Iliad means "A poem about Illium(troy)". It was sung by the legendary greek poet, Homer. It was crafted in dectylic hexameter, would have been performed to the music of the lyre. The Illiad has it all, love, hate, trust, betrayal, sex, chastity, mercy, wrath, gentleness, and violence. It truly is everything you could want from a story(except brevity) wrapped up into one package.
The Iliad is all around great! I hope they make an anime about it.
