Vague. V-A-G-U-E. Languages, by their very nature, are neither
vague nor crystal clear. Because you do not have an appreciation for either of these two great works, you call them vague, which does not make them so. It is, perhaps very true, that you have a "vague idea" what these two works are all about, but I doubt you even have that. Homer's works, the Illiad and the Odyssey, are considered to be heroic sagas with mythological elements. They may or may not refer to real events of the distant past. The Bible, is actually a collection of books written by various authors in different times, addresssing different issues and events in the history of the Jewish and Christian peoples up to the end of the first century A.D. Parts of the Bible contain, what can be called, "mythological elements" as well.
The Illiad was never intended to be a religious text, Homer may
have meant it to be pseudo-historical in nature. Each book of the Bible must be read and analyzed and appreciated in its own right as well as in its relationship to all the other books of the Bible.
You sound as if you could be rather young, So I'm going to forgive you what appears to me to be a poorly conceived question. Peace unto you, UC Steve.

The Bible is the Word of God! It is not written in a vague language! I would rather read God's Word than read the Illiad!

Of course Illiada (Îλιάδα). It is a real story about a war between Acheans (ÎÏαιοÏÏ) and Troys (ΤÏÏάδεÏ).
Bible is not real. It's just a very violent story for foolish and kids.
AND A PROPAGANDA FOR ANCIENT GREEKS. People who know, they know what I am talking about.

because the bible is 27% prophetic, contains over 8000 prophecies, Jesus Christ fullfilled over 360 old testament prophecies. and the iliad is just a good story>

The Iliad is far more beautiful,poetic and far less blood thirsty

Well, I don't see what the Iliad has to do with either the Jewish (Old Testament) or the Christian (New Testament) faith.

I prefer the Iliad: it's less violent.
