Help!

I have to write an essay on why the Iliad and the Odyssey are still so popular today, and why they are such classics, I am having a hard time finding a site to help!

Is it a research or opinion paper? If it is the latter, look at things like themes in the works and how they carry over to so many works which followed. Look at the archetypes of the characters: how they also resound in literature from Ancient Greece to 21st century.
