What is the name of the ancient Greek mythology that tells the story of the Trojan War?

The Odyssey
The Epic of Gilgamesh
The Iliad
The Aeneid

The correct answer is: The Iliad

The Odyssey is another famous ancient Greek epic, but it mainly focuses on the journey of the hero Odysseus after the Trojan War. Therefore, it is not the correct answer. The Epic of Gilgamesh is an ancient Mesopotamian epic that has many similarities to ancient Greek mythology, but it does not tell the story of the Trojan War. Therefore, it is not the correct answer. The Aeneid is a Roman epic poem written by Virgil, which is based on the character Aeneas and his journey after the Trojan War. While it contains elements of the Trojan War, it is not solely focused on it, making it an incorrect answer. The Iliad is the famous epic poem written by Homer, which specifically tells the story of the Trojan War. Therefore, it is the correct answer to the question.
