What's so good about the Iliad?

Homer's epic is called the Greek Bible, but it is certainly not blown out. The main body thinks that the lack of rhythm and repetition of content are not the shortcomings of Homer's epic, but the characteristics of the epic. First of all, the Iliad uses a six-tone short meter with respect to the epic meter. This kind of meter is the most solemn and sublime meter in ancient Greek poetry. In addition to Homer's epic, hesiod's Divine Spectrum and Work and Time also use this meter. Perhaps because of the characteristics of the language itself, ancient Greek and Latin can't always rhyme, so western classical poetry doesn't rhyme, but pays attention to rhythm. In other words, the key to the meter of classical poetry lies in the step and syllable length. The so-called six-step short case means that a poem has six steps, and each step has three syllables: long, short and short. Of course, the division of each line of poems will be slightly different, but basically they all follow this metrical pattern. This kind of meter is obviously different from the rhyme of China's classical poems, and it is closer to meter. Epic does not rhyme, but it has a strong sense of rhythm. Punctuation is not at the end of the line because a new line has to be started at the end of the six-step step, resulting in the phenomenon that the sentence is not on one line. There are not only stylized reasons for terminology repetition, but also prosodic considerations. Like φ α? Δ ι οτ is a stylized phrase. As can be seen from the above, these two words are only two steps, and it is very convenient for meter to often use this combination. Homer's epic just doesn't rhyme, not that it doesn't pay attention to poetic style. In addition to this kind of meter, there are other meters in western classical poetry, such as elegy antithesis, long and short meter and so on. These don't rhyme, but pay attention to the pace and rhythm. I think this is mainly caused by the characteristics of the language itself, and there is no distinction between good and bad. The beauty of rhyme is obvious. If it rhymes, I don't think the ancient Greeks will dislike it.
