Answer 2

"The Odyssey" by Homer is an epic poem that follows the adventures of the Achaean warrior Odysseus as he tries to return home after the fall of Troy. The poem details his encounters with mythical creatures, gods, and challenges he faces on his journey back to Ithaca.

Answer 3

The Iliad is the epic poem by Homer that tells the story of the Trojan War.

In Latin, the region that Troy occupied was called "Ilium".

It is worth noting that the Iliad covers only the last year of the siege of Troy; the period of time from when Achilles began to refuse Agamemnon to the death of Hector. The first 9 years of the siege are undocumented except in myth.

The next part of the story is told from both the Greek and Trojan perspectives. Virgil's Aeneid covers the end of the war, the sacking of Troy and the escape of Aeneas and some Trojans to the coast of Italy where they founded the settlement of Alba Longa.

Homer's Odyssey is basically Homer's sequel. The Odyssey tells the story of the Greek homecoming and the lengthy return voyage of Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin). The Odyssey is the journey home of Odysseus, one of the Greek warriors in the Trojan War, who actually came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse.

Answer 4

The Iliad tells the story of how Achilles' rage nearly cost Greece the war. It begins during the final year of the siege (which lasted 10 years), with the quarrel between Achilles and Agamemnon and ends with the death of Hector.

The Aeneid, written by the Roman poet, Virgil, picks up the tale, in media res, and tells of the Trojan Horse and the fall of Troy.

There is no written text telling about the first 9 years of the war, only allusions in the Iliad.
