Ilyam, Ilyum

• Iliad - The epic Greek poem attributed to Homer. The word Iliad means "pertaining to Ilion" (Latin Ilium), the name of the city proper, as opposed to Troy (Greek: Τροία, Troía; Latin: Troja) the state centered around Ilium, over which Priam reigned. However, even classics scholars are unsure of why the text is called Iliad rather than Ilium. The names are often used interchangeably.
