Homer was a Greek poet believed to be blind who lived in the late 8th or early 7th century BC. He is regarded as the greatest ancient Greek epic poet and is best known for his epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Iliad focuses on the Trojan War and the Odyssey describes Odysseus's ten year journey home after the war. Homer used a unique poetic style called the Homeric style and was unlike other poets of his time in that he traveled and sang his epic poems rather than writing them down.
The protagonist Odysseus struggles to return to his home in Ithaca after the Trojan War. As the cunning and favorite of Athena but bitter enemy of Poseidon, Odysseus faces many obstacles over the course of 12 books in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey. He is the husband of Queen Penelope and father to Prince Telemachus, who he must eventually reunite with after 10 years of wandering.
The document summarizes key events and characters from Homer's Iliad. It describes how Achilles and Agamemnon argue over a woman named Chryseis, leading Achilles to withdraw from battle. The Greeks start to lose until Paris offers to fight Menelaus one-on-one, but Aphrodite rescues Paris. Athene then convinces Pandarus to break the truce by wounding Menelaus with an arrow, causing the battle to resume.
The document summarizes Homer's epic poem The Iliad. It describes how the Trojan War began after Eris, the goddess of discord, tossed a golden apple among three goddesses and Paris chose Aphrodite, who promised him Helen, the most beautiful woman. This led Menelaus to call upon Greek forces to retrieve Helen. The war lasted 10 years and featured heroes like Achilles and Hector. It concludes with the Greeks tricking the Trojans into accepting the Trojan Horse, allowing the Greeks to invade Troy and burn the city, ending the war.
The document provides background information on several topics from Greek mythology. It discusses the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey attributed to Homer, which describe events during the Trojan War. It also summarizes information on key figures from Greek mythology like Zeus, Hera, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hades, Ares, Athena, Hermes, Poseidon, and Hephaestus.

The main characters of the poem include Odysseus, the epic hero and king of Ithaca, who embarks on a long journey home after the Trojan War, as well as Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Telemachus, and Penelope.
- Early Greek poets were aware of their ability to craft narratives and were described as "makers" of their poems, rather than just instruments of the gods. Poetry was seen as having the power to persuade and arouse emotions in listeners.
- Plato was intensely engaged with poetry but ultimately hostile to it in The Republic due to its ability to appeal to emotions and pleasures rather than reason. He viewed poetry as worthless imitation.
- Aristotle's Poetics established poetry as an independent art with its own logic and principles. Unlike Plato, he saw poetry as based on rational skill and believed its imitation and arousal of emotions could benefit learning.
The document provides an introduction to Homer's epic poem The Odyssey. It discusses the epic genre and how it includes films, music, television and novels that tell stories of heroism. It defines an epic hero as a brave and noble character admired for great achievements.
