Epic poem from Virgil I admire (5)

I believe the answer is:

iliad

'epic poem' is the definition.
(Iliad is an example)

'from virgil i admire' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ILIAD' can be found hidden inside 'virgil i admire'.

(Other definitions for iliad that I've seen before include "story of Mediterranean heroism" , "Work on war" , "Homer Trojan war epic" , "Homer's great poem" , "ancient tale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
