Correct response: What is The Iliad?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
The Iliad, written by Homer, was set during the end of the Trojan War (and the Greek siege of Troy). Though the work itself was set during the final weeks of the war, it does mention most of the story of the war (including the legends surrounding its beginning). It is one of the oldest works of Western literature and was followed by a sequel of sorts, The Odyssey.

Andy’s Thoughts:
- $11,400 is a difficult spot to be in. As a second-place finishing score, it’s 52.118% to advance. As a third-place finishing score, it’s 25.384% to advance. It’s quite possible that Rohit decided that if he got Final Jeopardy! incorrect, he’d be out of the running anyway; thus, he might as well bet his entire stack to give himself the best possible position on a correct response.
