Iliad is an early work (first written). Odyssey's event is also a direct consequence of events that happened in Iliad The reader of Odyssey is believed to know the summary of Iliad's episode and who the hero is. Therefore, it is natural to read Iliad first. I can not tell which is more attractive to read, but the Odyssey is much easier to read because it is a more autonomous alternative (sailing stage) and fewer letters. Iliad is darker to read (and bloodshed), and according to the nature of its contents, the poet's imagination is less decorated. For children and young readers in particular, we recommend you read the Odyssey first. For example, the Greek public school system taught Odyssey in front of Iliad (they are currently in seventh grade, but Iliad was taught in the eighth grade when I attended school).

In many ways, the Odyssey is everything Iliad does not have. In the place Iliad was about the war, the Odyssey was back home. Iliad was firmly restored for several days (in a 10-year conflict) and was restored in a narrow range of land (between Troy and Achaia refugee camps). The scope of Odyssey has been the past decades (mainly Odysseus). Struggle for ten years, unknown land. "Iliad" is calmly looking at interpersonal relationships based on war Odyssey 's eyes are accompanied by various fantastic folklore elements with monsters of one eye, witches, and ungrateful deaths. Basically, Achilles is known for its strength and strength, Odysseus is known for his endurance and intelligence.
