Not to be picky, but the Iliad starts very close to the end of the Trojan War. It does not describe the abduction of Helen. It does not describe a 10-year siege. The Iliad ends before the fall of Troy.

Yes, but while not actually depicted, all of that is mentioned in the story. I think it is in the scene where Menelaus and Paris fight in single combat and Aphrodite rescues the weenie Paris before he can be killed.

Also, Agamemnon was an ass for dissing Achilles the way he did.

Well, that was a further point that I decided not to make. The article encourages people to be Agamemnon. I don’t consider him an admirable person. I don’t want to be Agamemnon.
