That there was an epic poet called Homer and that he played the primary part in shaping the Iliad and the Odysseyâso much may be said to be probable. If this assumption is accepted, then Homer must assuredly be one of the greatest of the worldâs literary artists.
Herodotus mentions both the Iliad and the Odyssey as works of Homer. He quotes a few lines from them both, which are the same in todayâs editions. The passage quoted from the Iliad mentions that Paris stopped at Sidon before bringing Helen to Troy.ne often finds books of the Iliad and Odyssey cited by the corresponding letter of the Greek alphabet, with upper-case letters referring to a book number of the Iliad and lower-case letters referring to the Odyssey. Thus Î¾ 200 would be shorthand for Iliad book 14, line 200, while Î¾ 200 would be Odyssey 14.200.
