Epic that turns up in the dailies (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iliad

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'turns up in the dailies' is the wordplay.
'ILIAD' is hidden backwards within the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iliad that I've seen before include "No short tale" , "Long Homeric poem" , "Homer's ancient Greek epic" , "Greek epic poem about the Trojan War" , "set of books" .)
