    1. Homer's epics helped establish hero cults in Ancient Greece that venerated figures from mythology and influenced the development of Greek art from the Protogeometric to Late Geometric periods. 2. Early Greek art from 900-700 BC evolved from simple Protogeometric styles to more advanced Geometric styles as artists were inspired by hero cults and themes from Homer's poetry. 3. Archaeological evidence like vases and fragments show the progression of Greek art from the 9th to 6th centuries BC, marking the transition from the Dark Ages to Archaic period.
