Deeper Cuts into Homer's Iliad

A great place to get a better understanding of leadership in these epics is by getting a better understanding of heroism from Gregory Nagy's The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, which is free online. A number of Nagy's books, and others on Homeric poetry, may be found online on the Center for Hellenic Studies website, including what is arguably his most influential, The Best of the Achaeans: Concepts of the Greek Hero in Archaic Poetry. Those wishing to become part of a community for the study of Homeric poetry may wish to join HeroesX: Hour25, a program adapted to an online platform from Nagy's Harvard University course on the ancient Greek hero.
In order to get a deeper conceptual understanding of ancient concepts of leadership and related ideas (like power), see Emile Benveniste's Indo-European Language and Society, Chapter Four: Royalty and Its Privileges.
