It is believed Homer got the inspiration from war, and the aftermaths of what happens after war. The Iliad is about the triumph of war, and the glory that comes from it. The Odyssey is a more sobering version about warriors dealing with what happens after the war. Despite being victorious in war, there are countless tragedies, the most poignant being Clymestra's betrayal of Agamemnon.
