For most of European history the Iliad and The Odyssey were the earliest known poems. This meant that almost all later European poetry made use of the Iliad or The Odyssey in one way or another.
During the twentieth century some poems earlier than the Iliad or the Odyssey were reclaimed:- particularly the Epic of Gilgamish.
But the Iliad and the Odyssey passed for the earliest European poems for many hundred years, so they were the poems that everyone turned to.
