Compare and Contrast

How would I compare and contrast the styles of Bantam Classics The Aeneid of Virgil and The Odyssey of Homer? Two leaders Aeneas and Odysseus.

I would start as saying that there is a change in male and female figureheads. Still the male character is the hero but, females take on stronger roles as leaders and gods in higher positions. As in both epics there main character is hated by the dominant sex in that epic.
