No, I really cannot say that. I forgot 90% over the years, but Latin still is very present. 

So you can read ancient Greek? That’s impressive. I took a few "classics" courses in college, which is what they called it in the US when I was a student. The upper level courses read texts in Latin and Ancient Greek. That was way beyond my ability or commitment.

I read it first during my history studies, partially in old greek. The hexameter has been sung. In the theater it's great, makes You shivers and let's You dive into another universe.

I read it 50 years ago and really enjoyed it. Lately I'm very into Roman history,  which really began as a result of collecting ancient Roman coins. I'm slowly getting into the ancient Greek stuff too. I think I'll take your recommendation and start by re reading the Illiad. My recollection was that it's a great story- not really straight history, though, obviously!
