Amd here it is as a limerick. This one is better.

In Troy, there once was a great fight,

Greek and Trojan, their might took flight.

With gods up above,

And heroes they'd shove,

In an epic that lasted all night.

Here's my Chatgpt first try:

(Verse 1)

Yo, listen up, I'm 'bout to drop a tale so bold,

It's the Iliad, a story of heroes of old.

Achilles, Hector, they were fierce in the fray,

In ancient Troy, where gods had their say.

(Chorus)

Trojans, Greeks, clashin' swords in the fight,

Gods on high, watchin' from their lofty height.

This epic battle, it's a legendary sight,

Iliad's the story, gonna set it right.

(Verse 2)

Achilles, the warrior, with a wrath so deep,

Takin' on Hector, in the city's keep.

Hector, brave and bold, defendin' his land,

Two legends clashing, it's gonna be grand.

(Chorus)

Trojans, Greeks, clashin' swords in the fight,

Gods on high, watchin' from their lofty height.

This epic battle, it's a legendary sight,

Iliad's the story, gonna set it right.

(Verse 3)

Zeus and Hera, they were pullin' the strings,

In this epic tale, where destiny sings.

Helen's beauty, Paris' fateful choice,

Led to this war, with a thunderous voice.

(Chorus)

Trojans, Greeks, clashin' swords in the fight,

Gods on high, watchin' from their lofty height.

This epic battle, it's a legendary sight,

Iliad's the story, gonna set it right.

(Verse 4)

From the Achaean ships to the Trojan shore,

Warriors clashed, blood and honor they swore.

Homer's verses, they're a lyrical delight,

Iliad's the story, gonna rap it tight.

(Chorus)

Trojans, Greeks, clashin' swords in the fight,

Gods on high, watchin' from their lofty height.

This epic battle, it's a legendary sight,

Iliad's the story, gonna set it right.

(Outro)

So that's the Iliad, in a rap that's fresh,

Heroes and gods, in this ancient mesh.

A tale of honor, vengeance, and might,

Iliad's the story, now it's outta sight!

This is the sort of thing ChatGPT or Bing Chat is VERY good at. Give it a try.

I confess that GPT's dismal performance with palindromes pushed me away from AI experimenting for a while, but I'll follow up on this!

I strongly recommend using Bing Chat for this, as it's GPT4 engine is vastly superior.
