What are the historical and literary values of Homer's epic?
The historical and literary value of Homer's epic is:

On the one hand, Homer's epic is formed on the basis of folk oral literature, and its original material is myths, legends and heroic stories accumulated in many centuries, which preserves the true and natural characteristics of ancient culture. At the same time, it shows that in the early ancient eastern Mediterranean, the ancient cultural center, its literature once reached a high degree of prosperity.

After the epic began to be handed down in words, it was polished for many centuries before it became the final version. This special advantage is inseparable from the ancient Aegean civilization and the prosperity of slavery culture in Athens and Alexandria for hundreds of years. It is not only an ancient epic, but also a literary work with high artistic level.

The theme of Homer's epic:

Homer's Epic is a panoramic view of the early heroic era, and it is also a wonderful work in art. It takes the whole Greece and the surrounding Wang Yang sea as the main plot background, showing the liberal freedom scene and setting an example for the moral concept of the Greeks in the future (and then for the moral concept of the whole western society).

What followed was, firstly, a humanistic ethic of pursuing achievement and self-realization, and secondly, a liberal theology of the same sex between man and god, which stripped away the mysterious fear in the spiritual world. Homer's epic became the "Greek Bible".
