I was going to mention the Iliad as well. I attempted this when I was in gr 9, as we studied the Odyssey and I understood that the Iliad was a prequel. Well, my young brain was not prepared to accommodate the translation offered at the time, so I put it down in favour of my other choice (Dune) which in itself required a couple of false starts before I managed to consume it.
as far as epic, I would choose the Odyssey over the Iliad, as it was more far ranging.
