Perhaps the best-known and most influential of the Greek epics, Homer’s works stand in a class by themselves. The Iliad is one of the oldest existing works of Western literature. Homer’s works played such an important role in shaping subsequent Greek culture that he was often called the teacher of Greece. The style of Greek used in the works has become its own form or dialect, known as Homeric Greek. Innumerable works of literature, theater, and poetry have been written based on or responding to both the Iliad and the Odyssey.
