This particular book serves as an aid to the school textbook Homeric Epics: Iliad, which is taught in the second grade of middle school.
In general, each unit taught in detail includes:
- Connection with the previous content
- Summary
- Interpretation of words or phrases in the text
- Factual elements
- Structural elements
- Elements of material culture
- Values - perceptions - customs - institutions - sociopolitical organization
- Character portrayal
- Technical elements
- Answers to the questions in the school book and interdisciplinary activities - project plans
- Supplementary questions (with their answers at the end of the book).
Beyond this general framework, depending on the content of each unit, there are additional interpretative comments on various scenes or events. Also, at the end of some important units, there are Evaluation Criteria, the answers to which are given at the end of the book.
Regarding the units intended only for simple reading, their content is briefly summarized and some points worth noting are highlighted.
Finally, for all the rhapsodies of the Iliad (and for those that only have a summary retelling), the main points and their functional role are mentioned, so that their functional position within the entire composition of the Iliadic epic can be understood.
