Homer's Iliad. seriously.

The question was "where do I start?"
The Iliad does not answer the question of who the hell are Zeus, Hera, Ares, Athene etc. Why would it? Homer's intended audience was people who already knew who the gods were, what they ruled over, their personalities and relationships to each other. None of that is covered in the Iliad. You can gather a lot from context clues, but why not start elsewhere and read Homer after learning the basics?
