How familiar were the Greeks with the trojan war myths before reading Homer? Should I know the trojan war myths before reading Homer and Virgil or is it just spoiling the stories for me prematurely?

I'm going to read the Iliad. My only experience with ancient literature is with Plato and Aristotle. Should I pick up the Fagles or Lattimore translation?
