- The Iliad and the Odyssey stand at the head of Greek literature, and for centuries they were how a Greek-speaking child learned to read.
- Whether one person called Homer wrote either of them has been argued for well over two thousand years.
- Every apologist in this game was educated on these poems. When they argue with pagans about the gods, this is the text on the other side of the table.
