The Iliad is much less relevant now than it was 5-10 years ago. Besides the fact that some schools force you to read it, no one talks about The Iliad more than they would talk about Doctor Who, and when they talk about Doctor Who, it's usually not about some minor character that appeared for one/a few episodes.

Jeopardy is more talked about and more watched than any other game show (to my knowledge), and it's been going strong since 1964. Cassandra made one appearance during the 3rd season in 1965 and was not mentioned since. No one except maybe greek philosophers read The Iliad for fun, so in hindsight, the Iliad isn't really that relevant compared to the actual author of the Iliad, who is much more deserving of an ERB than someone from his story.
