The Iliad and the Epic of Gilgamesh are all origin stories from some of humanity's most established civilizations.
"Mahabharata," an ancient Indian epic, is considered to be one of the longest poems ever written. It consists of over 100,000 verses and is a prominent piece of Indian literature.
The Mahabharata was written first, with origins dating back to around 400 BCE in ancient India. The epic is believed to have been composed over several centuries by multiple authors. The Iliad, on the other hand, is attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer and is estimated to have been written around the 8th century BCE.

The original name of the Mahabharata is Mahabharata.
Certainly not. The Iliad dates from 8th century B.C. , or perhaps a little earlier, and was not written down much before the 5th, while the Epic of Gilgamesh is at least a thousand years older, from around 2,000 B.C. Exact dates for the Mahabharata are problematical, but the oldest parts are ancient indeed, and easily as old as the Iliad
No. Quite a bit later on in fact.
Yes, Mahabharata is a true story.
There are number of heroic things that Arjuna do in Mahabharata. The list is long and beyond the scope. Better you read the Mahabharata. Rather study the Mahabharata.
Ajaamila is personality who comes in Srimadbhagavata, not in Mahabharata
