The Iliad focuses on the Trojan War, highlighting the rage of Achilles and the devastating consequences of battle as heroes clash and fates intertwine. The Odyssey follows Odysseus’s arduous journey home after the war, filled with trials, temptations, and mythical creatures. Together, these tales delve into the complexities of fate, loyalty, and the quest for identity, illuminating the strengths and vulnerabilities of their legendary characters against the backdrop of ancient Greek culture.
