as it turns out I haven't read the Iliad

yes, ahem, I haven't read the Iliad, but I've read the Odyssey, and I can't take my gloating "I've done this" label off 43 things without deleting the comment which points out to me very kindly that I've not actually done it!
so,
I've decided to put up a new goal which is to read the Iliad and the Odyssey, first of all I've got to find the books . . . the Iliad is on the top shelf, not sure where Odysseus is hiding out, but I've got to get through Troy before I get onto him and Athena with the shining eyes.
