The Odyssey is overall a much better work imo, but the Iliad is obviously great as well, feels like a fucking action film at points.

Because they never got to properly reunite... Odysseus was in disguise and he risked revealing himself if he went to Argos, so, shedding a manly tear, he had to movie on, and Argos, knowing is master was home, finally died

Also fuck Penelope for neglecting him

These epic poems made men of the west and are thus demonized and misconstrued by the satanic retrograde.
