Homer is the ancient Greek poet to whom the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey are traditionally attributed. These foundational works of Western literature follow the Trojan War and the subsequent journey home of Odysseus, establishing many conventions of epic poetry and narrative structure. Homer's works have profoundly influenced Western literature, philosophy, and culture for nearly three thousand years. The Iliad explores themes of honour, mortality, and the costs of war, whilst The Odyssey chronicles a hero's struggle against fate and the gods on his long voyage home. Though little is known with certainty about Homer's life, his poetic achievements established the epic as a central literary form and continue to be studied and admired for their complex characterisation, vivid imagery, and exploration of timeless human concerns.
