What is so special about Homer? Anonymous Wed Nov 3 09:41:39 2021 No.19336301 [View]

I've read a decent amount of Greek literature but I don't understand what's so special about Homer. Do people just like the Illiad and Odyssey this much because they're both really old and have a lot of historical weight behind them?

Also, I'm Indian and we have our own Epics –– The Mahabharata and Ramayana. I like them too but frankly I thought the main reason people are into them is because they're really old and they're somewhat of a "cultural memory" of our civilization. Is this the only reason Europeans like Homer particularly? I just don't understand what makes it so unique or special in terms of literary value.
