Homer wrote the epic poems Iliad and the Odyssey, the two fundamental works of Ancient Greek literature. Iliad is set during the Trojan War. The poem depicts events in the final weeks of the siege, in particular, an argument between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achillies.
Homor's influence on literature and culture on Western civilisation is unfounded.
