The two events that contributed to the spread of ancient Greek culture and literature were 4)The launch of the Olympic games  and 5)Publication of Homer's epic poems.

The Olympics had great importance to the Greeks because they had a religious, political and sporting character. First, it was a form of devotion to the gods, mainly Zeus (god of the gods). It was also an important moment in the search for harmony between city-states. It also served as a health and healthy body enhancement event. Games took place every four years. At the time of the sports event, there was a truce in wars and conflicts. The well-known "Olympic peace" served to ensure safety for athletes who had to move from their city-states to Olympia.

Between the 8th and 9th centuries BC, Ancient Greece, also known by the name of Hellas, lived the so-called Homeric Period, that is, the period that followed the archaic phase and period of the cultures of Crete and Mycenae. This period was named after the figure of the poet Homer, considered the author of the epics Iliad and Odyssey, to emphasize the importance that the poems of Homer had in Greek education.
