The Iliad came first but it wasn't 'written' as a work of literature it was composed as an epic poem to be recited in the oral tradition
Homer is believed to have composed his epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, in Ancient Greek.
Yes, "The Iliad" is part of the oral tradition. It was composed in an era when storytelling was primarily an oral practice, with poets like Homer reciting epic tales from memory. This oral tradition relied on formulas, repetitive structures, and patterns that aided memorization and performance. As a result, "The Iliad" reflects the characteristics of oral poetry, even though it was eventually written down.

There are two: 'The Odyssey' and 'The Iliad'.
If the Trojan War occurred around 1250 BCE (BC) and Homer composed the Iliad and The Odyssey around 800 BCE, that makes 450 years, and the Greeks did not develop writing until around 500 BCE when it was finally written down.
The Iliad is thought to have been composed by the ancient Greek poet Homer in the 8th century BCE. It is one of the oldest works of Western literature.
