Deaths in the Iliad

by Ian Johnston

adapted by C. Parada

 

The list below has been prepared by Ian Johnston of Malaspina University-College, Nanaimo, BC, and later adapted by Carlos Parada to fit the transliteration used in the Greek Mythology Link. However, the original version of this list could be useful when consulting the on-line translation of the Iliad by Ian Johnston, to which the line numbers in the right column refer.

The following is a chronological list of the killings in the Iliad in which the participants are named. The list includes only those who died during the course of this particular part of the war and thus omits those deaths from the past which are described or referred to in some of the characters' accounts of their past exploits (e.g., Nestor's various triumphs) or earlier in the war (e.g., Protesilaus).
