The two most famous works of Homer are The Iliad and The Odyssey. Respectively, they tell the story of one part of the Trojan War, and the ten years it took one man to get back home after the war. A common pairing, in modern times, from The Iliad and The Odyssey is Achilles/Patroclus.

Homer's works are a rarelit fandom; the books often work alongside, in addition to, or as source texts for the more general Greek Mythology fandom.
