It tells you right at the start the the book is about the rage of achilles, champ, not the whole war.

you're wrong
It tells that the book is about the rage of Achilles
but it doesn't tell that the book isn't about the whole war, the horse, etc.

Yeah, the Trojan horse is a story being told by Odysseus in the Odyssey. Also, in that book Achilles is already dead. I can't remember if the "arrow in the heel" thing is from the Odyssey or if its a later invention.

The ending of the Iliad is fucking heavy though.
