Which is the thing that is completely lacking in Homer's Iliad and Odissey?

I remember in Iliad at least Briseid, Cassandra, Andromaca: three different women (a priestess beloved by Achilles, a doughter of king Priamus who foresees the fall of Troy but is unheared and seen as a poor visionary and a mad woman, the wife of Ector). In Odissey we can't rememember the names of the great number of women from Circes (the magician who transformed Ulysses' companions into pigs) to Penelope (the feithful wife of the greek leader). And, in both of the poems, the feminine characters of the goddesses... So we don't have any lack of this. good bye and thanks, mylot fiend. About the happy ending, the Odissey is not so sad, even if a bit violent in its final part.
