hey there Monokai and welcome!

i'm not sure i'd start with Ilium for two reasons. your mileage will vary of course, but: 1) right now i'm an unreliable reader. i've been "rereading" Ilium for months now, and haven't gotten very far, because i'm still packing up to move next week, and don't seem to have the reading time i did before. and 2) Ilium is huge. if you're easily distracted and can't hold the story in your head, a 720-page paperback with at least three plots will be quite the challenge!

but i'll add your post to the index on page 1! :D
