        "content": "Here are the works traditionally attributed to Homer\u2014some are securely accepted, others highly doubtful\u2014but all of them part of the rich ancient tradition.\n\n---\n\n## 1. Firmly Attributed to Homer\n\n- **The Iliad**  \n  An epic poem in 24 books (\u2248 15,693 lines), telling a section of the final year of the Trojan War, focusing on Achilles\u2019 rage. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliad?utm_source=openai))\n\n- **The Odyssey**  \n  Another epic in 24 books, following Odysseus\u2019 ten-year journey home after the Trojan War. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odyssey?utm_source=openai))\n\nThese are the only two works scholars generally accept as authentically Homeric. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Other Works Attributed in Antiquity (Likely Not by Homer)\n\nIn ancient times, numerous additional poems and texts were credited to Homer. Modern scholarship considers most of these spurious or part of the so-called \u201cHomeric tradition.\u201d ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer?utm_source=openai))\n\nSome of these include:\n\n- **Homeric Hymns** \u2014 a collection of about 32\u201334 short poems celebrating various gods and mythic figures. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer?utm_source=openai))  \n- **The Contest of Homer and Hesiod** \u2014 a literary contest, in mythic/legendary form. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Epigrams** \u2014 seventeen short epigrams were attributed to Homer. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigrams_%28Homer%29?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Other Epic Cycle Works** like:\n  - *Little Iliad*\n  - *Nostoi*\n  - *Thebaid*\n  - *Cypria*\n  - *Epigoni*\n  - *Capture of Oechalia*\n  - *Margites*\n  - *Batrachomyomachia* (\u201cWar of Frogs and Mice\u201d) ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can list which of the doubtful works survive fully, or which ones are just fragments."
