she probably just ran out on you and it's not worth tracking her down.

The illiad is in an ancient ancient form of greek from the bronze/iron age but Koine greek is just the later variation of it in the Hellenistic period do you mean like reading the new testament?

It's more than just a later variation. By about 100 AD the Greeks were struggling to understand the Iliad. By now, that language is pretty much incomprehensible to modern Greeks.

Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore—
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”

Here you go : "Write me a villanelle about John Wick"
John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name,
A legend of death, a man of fame,
His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.
A dark past, his demons to blame,
But revenge is his, his foes to maim,
John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name.
No mercy given, no mercy to claim,
His will of steel, a burning flame,
His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.
With guns in hand, his aim so tame,
His shots so precise, no need for aim,
John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name.
He fights alone, no need for a team,
His will so strong, a force supreme,
His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.
His path of vengeance, a relentless stream,
But his love for his wife, a constant theme,
John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name,
His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.

Poetry may be one of the few truly dying artforms. With its fanbase and prestige lost to novels, recorded music, and television/film, it is now disgraced before death as foids who were dumb enough to get English Degrees vainly hijack it and its prestigious institutions to try to lend themselves legitimacy, but no one cares anymore.
