The Iliad is named after the city of Ilion or Ilium, which most people call Troy. ("Iliad" mean "pertaining to Ilium/Ilion" in Greek.) It was, it turn, named after its founder, Ilius.

How does the title of The Iliad relate to the story?

You are asking about Homer's work, The Iliad. Specifically, you are curious as to how this title relates to the story about the wrath of Achilles and the fall of Troy.The answer is actually quite simple. The Iliad takes place in and around the city of Troy. In the ancient world, there were many names for this city. One of the alternate names for Troy was "Ilium" or "Ilios," from which the name "Iliad" is derived. "Iliad" means "poem about Ilium," which makes sense because the entire poem is devoted to the events taking place in the Trojan War around the city of Ilium.There is more information in the related links I am adding to this question. Charles T. Lewis' A Latin Dictionary contains a formal definition of "Ilium" and explains how it is often used interchangably with "Troy."Bernard Knox's introduction to Robert Fagles' translation of the Iliad (which you can preview on Amazon.com) explains the meaning of the word "Iliad" as applies to Homer's poem. His essay contains the added factoid that the Greek historian Herodotus was the first to call Homer's poem by this name, in the 5th century B.C.

Why was the movie troy called Troy and not The Iliad?

As it is a war saga, look at some competing films of the past- the motion picture The Longest Day- was entirely about the Normandy Invasion- also called D-day, but did opt for an original title- Iliad- the Trojan saga, maybe sounds too academic- this is unavoidable with films like Macbeth, but that"s Shakespeare. Chalk it up to an idea for an original title.
