Elizabeth Vandiver's 12 lecture course on the Iliad is excellent. [... S]he is a great lecturer. She tells the story of the Iliad, but also addresses other fascinating questions such as whether Homer wrote the Iliad, the role of the gods in the poem, and, of course, the Iliad's view of the human condition."
