The Ilias Latina ('the Latin Iliad') is a condensed Latin version of Homer's epic on the Trojan war, and was likely composed under Nero. Long neglected as a poem worthy of study, there is a growing awareness that it is a sophisticated work of cultural appropriation, systematically reviewing and refashioning the Homeric epic through a Roman lens.

Steven J. Green specializes in Roman literature and culture in the first centuries BC and AD, and is particularly interested in those texts that are typically overlooked, unread, or unappreciated by modern readers. His major research has moved from the relatively conventional world of Ovid (Fasti), to more marginal poems, including the astrological treatise of Manilius, the hunting manual of Grattius and, now, the Ilias Latina.
