The gods in Homer's stories were always represented as volatile, unpredictable and capricious. They did not have the interest of their worshipers in mind.
Both Athens and Sparta were familiar with Homer's works, as they were integral parts of Greek culture and education. However, the emphasis on Homer varied between the two city-states; Athens, with its focus on arts and literature, placed a greater importance on his epics. In contrast, Sparta prioritized military training and discipline, so while they recognized Homer, his works were not as central to their educational system. Overall, Homer was a significant figure in the cultural landscape of both city-states.
