The foundation literature from Greek literature dating back to the early Archaic period. The Illiad and the Odyssey are the two epic poems set in the Mycenaean era. These two epics along with the Homeric Hymns and the poems of Hesiod, Theogony and Works and Days, compromised the major foundations of the Greek literary tradition that would continue into the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods.
