Pure speculations, but my guess is that Iliad preference is felt by fans who also like discussing whether the Enterprise D would be able to take on the original Death Star. Oh, and of course by Achilles/Patroclus OTPlers.
Hahaha. Well, for some reason I've always found those kinds of conversations boring, probably for the same reason I could never get into conlangs. But I do love military history, as you know, and it's for the same reason that I strongly prefer the Iliad to the Odyssey. And, of course, I'm a diehard Achilles/Patroclus OTP shipper. ;)
(Studiously avoiding Classics salon for now, so I can try to finish up the projects that are preventing me from having time to go all in on Classics salon!)
