Hello.

Here's a newsgroup message discussing several available Greek
editions:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=39387A58.56490F1E%40daisydogdesign.com

Amazon has the Oxford Classical Text editions mentioned:

Homeri Opera: Iliadis Libros I-XII Continens
(if you click on the "Look Inside" cover image, you can verify that
the text really is in Greek)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0198145284
Homeri Opera/Iliadis Libros Xiii-Xxiv Continens
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0198145292/

Also available from Abebooks:
"The first twelve books of "The Iliad" in the original ancient Greek.
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookDetails?bi=57971575

Munro, David B and Allen, Thomas W
Homeri Opera - Iliadis Libros I-xii, Xiii-xxiv
http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookDetails?bi=124738510

Also available from Alibris:
"Intro in Latin and text in Greek."
http://www.alibris.com/search/detail.cfm?BID=8143877705


--------------
The newsgroup message above also mentions an edition by Willcock that
has integrated commentary.  That edition is also available from
Amazon.
Homer: Iliad I-XII
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/185399507X/
Homer: Iliad Xiii-Xxiv
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1853995959/

These editions are also available from Half.com
Homer : Iliad I-XII
http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=268540&domain_id=1856&meta_id=1
Homer : Iliad Xiii-Xxiv
http://half.ebay.com/cat/buy/prod.cgi?cpid=5050882&domain_id=1856&meta_id=1

Tufts University has an online Greek version at:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0133
You can apparently view it in the Greek alphabet using their
configuration tool.

search strategy:
google groups:
iliad, "in greek"
book sites (amazon, etc): iliad oxford, iliad willcock

I hope this helps.

Was wonderfully helpful. Not only did my answerer give me multiple
answers but listed their search strategy. Only wish they had listed
prices.
