The Song of Achilles shouldn’t be promoted as a why to skip reading The Iliad

I have read both The Song of Achilles and The Iliad and enjoyed them both, but I think they should exist together. I have seen book influencers and celebrity Daniel Radcliffe say to skip reading the Iliad because it’s too long and read The Song of Achilles instead. I think it’s so disappointing to try influence people to skip such an important book in history. a few months ago an Egyptian mummy was found with the Iliad in its tomb from 1,600 years ago. Napoleon had a copy while conquering Europe. Am I being too dramatic?
