The "Epic Cycle" refers to a collection of ancient Greek epic poems that narrate the events of the Trojan War and its aftermath. These poems, attributed to various authors, include works like the Iliad and the Odyssey, which are central to Homer's contributions to literature. The cycle encompasses stories about heroes, gods, and the consequences of war, illustrating themes of honor, fate, and human struggle. The Epic Cycle is not a single narrative but rather a series of interconnected tales that expand on the Trojan War mythos. Other notable works in the cycle include the Cypria, Aethiopis, and Little Iliad. Together, they provide a broader understanding of the legendary events and characters that shaped ancient Greek culture and storytelling.
