[edit] Peleus

Peleus, father of Achilles and grandson *of* Zeus. -I'm not sure if this is correct, but it needs some sort of connection.

[edit] Gods?

I don't see any of the gods (Zeus, Hera, Ahtena, Aphrodite, etc.) on the list. Is there any particular reason why they are left off? Some of them certaintly play significant roles. --Queenrani 03:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

I second idea of including the gods as characters. They're important plotwise and in order to do any analytical or comparative work with the text. 208.58.202.169 (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Major or all characters?

As it stands, this is far from a complete list of characters in the Iliad. Is this intended as only the major characters notable enough to warrent articles on their own? If the latter, the lead needs to be edited to make that clear. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
