The epic poem that recounts the exploits of a legendary king of Uruk and slayer of the monster Huwawa is the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Iliad and Odyssey are epic poems from ancient Greek literature, the Epic of Nimrud is not a known epic poem, and the Tale of Homer is not a specific epic poem but rather a potential reference to the Iliad and Odyssey which were written by Homer.
