After finishing the Illiad I was inspired to have another read of Illium by Dan Simmons, and I can say that I'm much more impressed on this go through. I don't think I was old enough to really appreciate first time round.
It's a brilliant book, boundlessly inventive, intelligent and highly conceptual Science Fiction.
The basic premise is a modern historian has been resurrected by Zeus to observe the battle of troy and make sure it follows the course of history.

I'm definitely going to grab the sequel.
