All three poems have a Hero (part human, part divine) as their main character (Aeneas, Odysseus, Achilles). All three poems follow the human action of their main character, but show how the events in the human world are directed and controlled by gods and goddesses at work in the background.

The Odyssey is a travel epic - based around a voyage. The Iliad is a war epic - based around part of a military campaign. In the Aeneid the first six books are voyage-based (like the Odyssey) while books VII-XII are about a battle (the war to establish a Trojan presence in Italy).
