Contrary to the first answer, that stated The Odyssey is considered to be the first work of western literature. It is actually the second.

Both are epic poems by Homer. However, The Iliad deals with the Trojan Wars, The Odyssey deals with Odysseus returning from them. Therefore, Iliad first, Odyssey second.
