Excerpt from Samuel Butler: Records and Memorials

Iliad was composed by an actual hostage in the hands of the Greeks, who had his own reasons for hating both sides, and who deliberately told the tale of Troy in such a fashion as to hold up Achilles and the other victorious heroes to odium and ridicule. It is probable that Mr Butler started this theory as a hoax, but there can be little doubt that he wrote himself into the acceptance of it, in the end, with complete and genuine conviction.
