This book is an oration by Bione of Smyrna, known as the “Iliaca”. The text contains a fascinating critique of Homer’s Iliad, with Bione accusing the revered poet of lying and imprecision when recounting the events of the Trojan War. Bione takes a revisionist approach, arguing that Alexander and Helen were married and that the Greeks used this as a pretext for invasion. This work is significant in its challenge to the traditional telling of the Trojan War, and offers a fresh perspective on one of the foundational stories of Western literature.
