Introduction provides a useful breakdown of what happens in the story. It also provides you insights into the culture so you understand actions.
There are 24 books of the Iliad:
Book 1: Achilles and Agamemnon squabble over trophies (women).
Book 2:A snoozer. A breakdown of all characters and kingdoms involved in the wars. My eyes glazed over.
Book 3:Paris and Menelaus agree to duel but Paris/aphrodite cheats.
