Iliad vs Odyssey
Iliad:
- Battles
- 6 days
- linear narrative
- warriors respected
- focus on geras, aristeia, kleos, etc
- Achilles = main character

Odyssey:
- Mythical Creatures
- 40 days
- not linear narrative
- disguise
- suitors (b-listers disrespected and die w/out honor)
- less emphasis on pride
- journey
- Odysseus = main character

Both:
- epics (24 books)
- epic similes
- heroes
- proem
- Odysseus -> Athena
- God’s intervention
- Trojan War Era
