  No, the Odyssey is about Travelling. The Iliad is
  about being a stranger in a strange land (which, I
  think is the battle zone itself, not neccessarily
  Troy.)
  
Actually, I know the author said that it's Traveler in a strange land. 
Conquering the foriegn land is one of the more specific forms of that story.
I don't necessarily agree with the guy, but Greg wanted information about
the seven stories...
