The 'ILIAD' and the 'ODYSSEY' are two of the most famous EPICS in Western literature. They are both attributed to the ancient Greek poet Homer, and are collectively known as Homer's EPICS or Homeric EPICS. The 'ILIAD' and the 'ODYSSEY' are both SAGAS, which are long narrative poems that tell stories of heroic deeds and adventures. These EPICS have been studied and admired for centuries, and are considered to be some of the greatest works of literature ever written.
