Answer 1

Hint: Ancient poet Homer wrote Iliad and Odyssey. Iliad portrays the Trojan War and the ten-year siege of Troy by the Greek forces. Presently 'Aeneid' may be a Classic lyric composed in Latin dialect by writer Virgil. It talks around Aeneas (a Trojan Legend) who travelled to Italy and got to be a predecessor to Romans.

Complete answer: The Greek literature primarily revolves around myths and includes Homer's works; the Iliad and the Odyssey. Amidst the earliest Greek literature was Homer’s epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Iliad recounts in detail the Trojan War while the Odyssey recounts Odysseus' 20-year journey home from the Trojan War. The three most celebrated Greek writers specialized their work in tragedies. The tragedy is a kind of drama in which a strong central figure or hero ends up failing and is punished by the gods. Normally, the hero has a fatal flaw that causes him to lose. For a long time, Aeschylus (525-456 B.C.E.) was the most victorious dramatist in Athens conquering various competitions. One of her competitors. the Athenian writer Sophocles wrote a renowned play, Oedipus Rex (Oedipus Rex). In this piece, the principal character, Oedipus is destined by the gods to kill his father and marry his own mother. In spite of Oedipus' attempt to avoid this result, this happens exactly as the gods had foretold. Out of shame, Oedipus makes himself blind and is exiled.

Note: Antiquated Greek writing was composed in an Old Greek tongue, writing ranges from the most seasoned surviving composed works until works from around the fifth century AD.
