Where did Iliad and odyssey take place?

The Iliad and Odyssey, two epic poems attributed to Homer, are set in the Bronze Age in the Aegean Sea region, roughly corresponding to modern-day Greece and Turkey.

Here's a breakdown:

The Iliad:

* Setting: The Trojan War, fought on the plains of Troy (located in modern-day Turkey) and the surrounding areas.

* Timeline: The story is set roughly 10 years into the 10-year Trojan War.

The Odyssey:

* Setting: Primarily focused on the journey home of Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, after the Trojan War.

* Timeline: Set immediately after the end of the Trojan War, spanning over a decade as Odysseus navigates various challenges and dangers on his way back home.

While the poems are set in a specific historical period and location, they also draw heavily on mythology and legend. Therefore, their setting can also be seen as a mythic world where gods and goddesses actively intervene in human affairs.
