Aphrodite was NOT the daughter of Cronos. Homer says she is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. Other versions say she was born from the sea when the genitals of Uranus were cast into them by Cronos, but she is never the daughter of Cronos.
Laomedon, king of Troy before Priam, is certainly mentioned, for example in the discussion between Sarpedon and Tleoptolemus before they fight. However, he obviously does not appear in person. I don't really know whether this article was intended to include those just mentioned in the epic too.
Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. He does not appear in 'The Iliad', and I do not believe he is mentioned either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.128.227 (talk) 15:00, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Peleus, father of Achilles and grandson *of* Zeus. -I'm not sure if this is correct, but it needs some sort of connection.
Yes, it is correct. Peleus was the son of Aeacus, who was a son of Zeus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.5.128.227 (talk) 14:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't see any of the gods (Zeus, Hera, Ahtena, Aphrodite, etc.) on the list. Is there any particular reason why they are left off? Some of them certaintly play significant roles. --Queenrani 03:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
I second idea of including the gods as characters. They're important plotwise and in order to do any analytical or comparative work with the text. 208.58.202.169 (talk) 08:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
As it stands, this is far from a complete list of characters in the Iliad. Is this intended as only the major characters notable enough to warrent articles on their own? If the latter, the lead needs to be edited to make that clear. —Quasirandom (talk) 18:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree, the page needs to be longer. Vince Calegon 15:31, 20 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Calegon (talk • contribs)

Text is shorter than many of the entries on the characters page and can be expanded here as an article later if needed. Ost (talk) 01:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
