The Iliad, is a written account of the final weeks of The Trojan War with Achilles as the protagonist. The Odyssey is Odysseus' ten year journey from Troy after the Trojan War to his homeland Greece. Both are written by Homer. Both are called epic poems also as they are mainly written in dactylic hexameter.
