I can't say I've read any other war epics, but if Iliad truly is one of the best, I can see why. And to follow that with the Odyssey, in my view, is almost a perfect sequel, although I guess one Greek writer (I can't recall which one) supposedly thought it showed Homer's decline in old age.Can I assume you've read Virgil's Aeneid as well?
