What was the title of the epic poem written by Homer?

Paradise Lost
Beowulf
The Iliad
The Divine Comedy

The correct answer is: The Iliad

The epic poem written by Homer was called The Iliad. This poem is about the Trojan War and is considered one of the greatest works of literature in Ancient Greece. Option A, Paradise Lost, is a poem written by John Milton about the Biblical story of Adam and Eve. Option B, Beowulf, is an epic poem written anonymously about a hero fighting mythical creatures. Option D, The Divine Comedy, is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri about his journey through the afterlife. While these are all important works of literature, they were written by different authors and have different themes, making them incorrect options for the title of Homer's epic poem.
