List of Homeric scenes with proper names

A list of proper names of scenes or sections in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

This is not a list of scenes of any particular type. This is a list of names of scenes or sections.

In several cases, these names have taken on a more generic meaning: They are sometimes used as literary terms to describe a generic type of scene, or a type of narrative event, in many different works beyond Homer.

The painting on the right, titled Jupiter and Juno on Mount Ida, depicts the scene known as "Dios Apate" or "The Deception of Zeus" from Book 14 of the Homer's Iliad. (James Barry, 1773, City Art Galleries, Sheffield.)
