This templates creates a quotation link to the Iliad and Odyssey using the Greek-letter notation found in Cunliffe's A Lexicon of the Homeric Dialect among others.

The first parameter is a Greek letter: capital Α through capital Ω stand for the 24 books of the Iliad in order, while lower-case α through lower-case ω stand for the 24 books of the Odyssey in order.

The second parameter is the corresponding line number. For example,

* {{RQ:grc:hom|Γ|1}}

renders as:

• 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Iliad 3.1

and

* {{RQ:grc:hom|ε|19}}

renders as:

• 800 BCE – 600 BCE, Homer, Odyssey 5.19

Quotes from Homer can also be cited using {{Q}}; the above template calls are exactly equivalent to:

* {{Q|grc|Il.|3|1}}

and

* {{Q|grc|Od.|5|19}}

respectively.

In addition, this template uses the parameters |thru=, |quote=, |trans=, |transyear=, |transauthor=, |notes=, and |form= from {{Q}}; see Template:Q/documentation for details on how they work and what they do.
