Major characters

The Iliad contains a sometimes confusingly great number of characters. The latter half of the second book (often called the Catalogue of Ships) is devoted entirely to listing the various commanders. Many of the battle scenes in the Iliad feature bit characters who are quickly slain. See Trojan War for a detailed list of participating armies and warriors.

The Achaeans (Ἀχαιοί) - the word Hellenes, which would today be translated as Greeks, is not used by Homer. Also called Danaans (Δαναοί) and Argives ('Aργεĩοι).

Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, and leader of the Achaeans.

Achilles, King of the Myrmidions, foremost Achaean warror, he clashes with Agamemnon and sits out much of the combat. After the death of Patrolocus, he returns to battle and slays Hector.

Odysseus, King of Ithaca he is the most clever Achaean commander. The hero of Homer's other epic the Odyssey

Ajax the Greater, A large warrior, second only in fighting prowess to Achilles

Menelaus, King of Sparta and husband of Helen.

Diomedes, the youngest Achaean king, he is king of Argos.

Ajax the lesser, another Achaean leader frequently partnered with Ajax the greater.

The Trojan men

Hector, son of the Trojan king Priam and the foremost warrior of Troy, slain by Achilles.

Aeneas, son of Anchises and Venus, he is another Trojan leader.

Paris, son of King Priam, he is the lover who stole Helen and started the Trojan war.

Priam, the aged king of Troy.

Polydamas, a young Trojan commander who sometimes figures as a foil for Hector by proving cool-headed and prudent when Hector charges ahead. Polydamas gives the Trojans sound advice, but Hector seldom acts on it.

Agenor, a Trojan warrior who attempts to fight Achilles in Book 21. Agenor delays Achilles long enough for the Trojan army to flee inside Troy's walls.

Dolon (Δόλων), a Trojan who is sent to spy on the Achaean camp in Book 10.

Antenor, a Trojan nobleman, advisor to King Priam, and father of many Trojan warriors. Antenor argues that Helen should be returned to Menelaus in order to end the war, but Paris refuses to give her up.

Polydorus, a Trojan prince and son of Priam and Laothoe.

The Trojan women

Hecuba (Ἑκάβη), Queen of Troy, wife of Priam, mother of Hector, Cassandra, Paris etc

Helen (Ἑλένη), former Queen of Sparta and wife of Menelaus, now espoused to Paris

Andromache (Ἀνδρομάχη), Hector's wife and mother of their infant son, Astyanax (Ἀστυάναξ)

Cassandra (Κασσάνδρα), daughter of Priam, prophetess, first courted and then cursed by Apollo. As her punishment for offending him, she accurately foresees the fate of Troy, including her own death and the deaths of her entire family, but does not have the power to do anything about it.

The Olympian deities, principally Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Hades, Aphrodite, Ares, Athena, Hermes and Poseidon, as well as the lesser figures Eris, Thetis, and Proteus appear in the Iliad as advisers to and manipulators of the human characters. All except Zeus become personally involved in the fighting at one point or another (See Theomachy).
