# Homer: Iliad

🏷 Greek text interlinear · text — by Gerry · Jan 2025 · 3502 words

Homer’s Iliad is yet another pun-encrypted ancient text. Like many others, it tells how the aristocrats invented ruling by deception.

## Introduction

Homer’s Iliad, about the siege of Troy, is the most important work of ancient Greek literature, next to the Odyssey. But just like the Odyssey, it’s about strange peoples & places that are ripped out of their historical context, or that never existed in any real context.

The reason is of course pun-encryption. Like pretty much every other piece of ancient literature, the Iliad is written to have a double-meaning. It’s secretly about how the aristocrats deceive the common people, by disguising themselves as commoners.

Since mythical Troy is an often-used codeword for Tyre, the actual superpower behind the eternal reign of deception, it may be that the Iliad in later sections starts telling something about actual history. So far, I’ve only decrypted the beginning, which is once again about the origins of aristocratic deception.
