	Ilium (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ilium is a novel by Dan Simmons that concerns the re-creation of the Iliad (possibly on an alternate-universe Earth) by post-humans who dwell on the Olympus Mons volcano on a future Mars, and who have taken on the roles of the Greek Gods.
		Ilium is also thematically influenced by extropianism, as it is peopled with 'post-humans' of the far future.
		Ilium is based on a literary approach like that of most of Ray Bradbury's work, but describes larger segments of society and broad historical events.

	ilium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ilium is the Latin form of Greek Ilion, the name more commonly used in ancient Greek texts for the legendary city also there called Truia, this latter form being rendered in Latin as Troia and in English as Troy.
		A new city of Ilium was refounded on the site that many believed to be the location of the legendary Ilion/Ilium in the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus.
		The ilium, or ilion (not to be confused with the ileum), is a bone, part of the pelvis.

	The Dragonhunt -- Ilium
		The land around Ilium was once dedicated to stonecutting and quarrying, and the area is still dotted with quarry pits, treacherous to travellers who stray off the roads.
		Since 1980, Ilium is sometimes called the "City of Gates." It's the only walled city of the Silver Coast, and although the wall was originally just a nondescript ring of stone, the stone has since become a canvas for the most talented masons and sculptors of the city.
		Ilium's annual Spring Festival has a parade, street carnivals, plays, dances, sports competitions, and dozens of other entertainments (including the controversial Bounty Strike); but the most famous Festival event is the day-long high-speed race between the Seven Stars of Fate.

	Ilium review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Somewhat contrary to my expectations Ilium is a fine return to form by Simmons that I wouldn’t be in the least bit embarrassed to give to the non-sf reader in my life to look at.
		Ilium consists of three entirely separate storylines; so separate, in fact, that you may wonder what they’re all doing together in the same novel.
		His is a complicated universe partaking of ancient and modern literature (modern for you and I, that is), of sf, some heavy theoretical science and some equally heavy historical reconstruction.

	Excessive Candour
		But we misrepresent Ilium if we give the impression that it is mainly an exercise in learning how to learn about the past; it is very much more (and sometimes a bit less) than that.
		Ilium is a Theatre of Memory of space opera.
		Ilium is perhaps, as well, the first successful space opera of Troy—Brian Stableford's Dies Irae trilogy from 1971 was fatally surly about its Homeric understory—and is so, I think, because it is the first story to respond to the Iliad as though Homer himself had written a space opera.

	Review - Ilium - Dan Simmons
		Ilium is the kind of book we see all too rarely in SF, a state of the art adventure-plus-ideas novel that evokes that coveted old-fashioned sense of wonder while establishing itself as a true original on the order of Dune and The Left Hand of Darkness.
		In Ilium, we have literature personified on the "ringing plans of windy Troy" (thank you Alfred, Lord Tennyson in his poem Ulysses) where a dichotomy is set up between the people who study and obsess over mythology and heroism and the people who actually live, breathe, and embody that mythos.
		To properly enjoy Ilium in all of its facets, one is required to have a good understanding of Homer, canonical literature in general, and the behaviors of academics.

	Lumbar lordosis versus the AS ilium fixation
		The bilateral AS ilium fixation is the most commonly encountered pattern for the hyperlordotic lumbar spine, especially with an overlay of emotional tension.
		The other important and common contributor to the AS ilium fixation patterns is the L-5 rotation pattern, followed less frequently by the L-4 rotation pattern.
		In this case, it corresponds with the seeking patterns of the ilia, where the left ilium seeks the PI and the right ilium seeks the AS direction.

	Ilium by Dan Simmons - an infinity plus review
		The key Moravec in Ilium is Mahnmut, who works (as it were) as an explorer under the ice-capped seas of Jupiter's moon Europa, and who in his spare time is quaintly obsessed with Shakespeare's sonnets.
		This is narrated by a twentieth-century academic scholar called Thomas Hockenberry, who has been resurrected in a far future world to work as a 'scholic', observing and reporting on a massive recreation of the Trojan war.
		We SF writers and fans often talk about our beloved genre as a ghetto, frozen out by the denizens of 'high literature', despised as popular culture 'entertainment', where Shakespeare and Dickens et al are elite culture.

	Dan Simmons: Ilium
		Although the story focusing on Hockenberry appears to be the primary tale, that perception may be based solely on his ties to the city of the novel's title.
		Ilium is a major work of science fiction in much the same way Hyperion was, but while Hyperion could more easily be read on its own, Ilium clearly can only be read and fully understood with a reading of Olympos when the later work is eventually published.
		Until then, readers will be able to hunt for clues in Ilium and enjoy the adventures of the scholics, the moravecs, and the strange, peaceful humans who inhabit a garden party existence in the far future.

	Steven Wu's Book Reviews: Ilium (Dan Simmons)
		Unlike his truly awful horror novels, Ilium marks Simmons's triumphant return to science fiction, a genre in which he has already had a major impact with his Hyperion series.
		Ilium is more of the same, thank goodness--a rollicking adventure in a fully realized far-future universe whose ultimate explanation Simmons lovingly doles out over the course of this big, fat book.
		The narrator of the story--or one of them, at least, is Thomas Hockenberry, a former 20th-century academic who dies and then is surprised to find himself resurrected by omnipotent entities modeled after the Greek gods.

		How Paris, a prince of Ilium (also called Troy), seduced the beautiful Helen, wife to Greek King Menelaus; how the angry Greeks, Achilles and Odysseus among them, laid siege to Ilium for many years; and how the gods of Olympus conspired amongst themselves to manipulate the battle.
		In the distant future, long-dead human scholars are resurrected and forced to participate in a virtual reality recreation of The Iliad staged on a terraformed Mars.
		Ilium sports the same hallmarks of epic SF as the now-classic Hyperion; references to classics of literature, multiple story arcs that gradually merge together for a satisfying conclusion, and "why didn't I think of that?" ideas.

		Thankfully, I'm not too disappointed--the concept is interesting, and the plot itself is executed fairly well--but the novel leaves plenty to be desired in writing style, characterization, and basic writing skills.
		Ilium, much like Hyperion, in no way offers any conclusion, leaving the reader starving for the next book.
		Because Ilium ends without any conclusion, I would recomend readers new to Dan Simmons to read Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, and Rise of Endymion first.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| If the Prophet had not lived...
		On the top of the tide comes Dan Simmons's Ilium, with its triple-layered narrative, which drags Homer's Iliad and Shakespeare's The Tempest as its sea anchors and tows the Sonnets and a dollop of Proust in its wine-dark wake.
		Since it isn't possible to dislike a book where this happens I'm all in favour of Ilium, but its thriller-based scaffolding is so stuffed with exuberant, Banksian charm, visceral detail, breathtaking audacity and vividly realistic action scenes that it would be difficult not to warm to it.
		In Ilium the sole survivor of the old-style human race (ie, us) is a lone Jewish woman who leads some of the future timeline heroes into the fray.

		Their author, Homer, was probably the first notable poet to transfer the oral tradition of story telling to the written page, immortalising the ancient heroes of the siege of Troy and making them part of our heritage.
		The Ilium of the title of Simmons novel is Homer's Troy and if this book kindles an interest in these classics or ancient Greek culture, that is a bonus.
		'Ilium', though, is Science Fiction and the unfolding of the events of Troy's siege are only one part of this complex novel.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Ilium
		It is easy instead to become seduced by the action and direct drama staged on the plains of Ilium, a saga already well familiar, whereas the two attendant storylines seem less immediate and, at the outset, far less animate.
		In terms of its plotting, this is a complicated novel whose integrity is slow to reveal, and it is the familiarity of the Iliad storyline that initially binds the work together, serving as a form of place mark while the other two strands, at first seeming unrelated, gradually come together.
		Part humor, part literary space opera (and perhaps part intellectual snipe hunt), Ilium is fascinating in its grand scope as well as the way it refits earlier works to conform to an entirely new epic and context.
