“Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.” Gao Xingjian
In your final work today, take some time to step back from your work and consider what you really make of this epic poem, the Iliad. Do its lessons really apply to your world, is there any way for it to touch your daily life in 2013? These are the thoughts that you can express after your thesis review in your conclusion. This is the place in your paper where you don't really need to be concerned with Homer's objective and ideas, and you get to express yourself and your opinions about the relevance of what Homer has done.
(It's ok to decide that while you've made a case for what you believe Homer was trying to accomplish, those aims don't really hold true anymore. But remember you've got to explain why they don't hold true anymore.)
