Default I recall reading Homer in an Ethics class at the University of Nevada, Reno.
Ethics and War in Homer's Iliad

Homer seems to have religion and ethics/morality in his works but they are extremely different from those of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and the other major religions. They seem most to be the morals of a warrior culture and the Gods get into the wars as well.
