Answer:

Iliad and Odyssey are rooted in Greek culture and composed in the eighth century B.C. Both of these works have long oral tradition and attributed to a single poet Homer. Though the events discussed cover a long span of time and the authorship of a single person is questioned. These works are considered to be the oldest work of western literature which influenced the narrations of contemporary literature.
