Answer:

Difference(s)

One of the most noticeable difference between the two poems is their overarching theme and tone, which is also accompanied by other differences. The Iliad is about war, battles, and combat. Whereas the Odyssey is about adventures, challenges, and mythological creatures

Similarities:

The Iliad and The Odyssey are both divided into 24 books and written in dactylic hexameter using the same literary conventions. Their stories share a ring-form structure and numerous divine interventions.
