The Ilias Latina ('the Latin Iliad') is a condensed Latin version of Homer's epic on the Trojan war, and was likely composed under Nero. Long neglected as a poem worthy of study, there is a growing awareness that it is a sophisticated work of cultural appropriation, systematically reviewing and refashioning the Homeric epic through a Roman lens.
