Frankenstein : often seen as a precursor to science fiction.
1984 and Brave New World: can both be claimed as early science fiction. Utopias, dystopias, political experiment and satire are common themes in SF.
Fahrenheit 451 is classic SF, on a social theme.
Fantasy: (and none of these are neat categories)
I wouldn't include the Odyssey as it is from an older time where the question of fantasy was handled differently.
We would see it as such. It's not clear that it's first hearers so took it.
Animal farm, yes, because of its form, despite its clear political allegory.
Moby Dick? Possibly. It's not really written that way, rather as a tale at the limit of human experience in *this* world.
The Hobbit, undoubtedly.
Tolkien's world is sufficiently thought out that it almost moves over to science fiction in terms of having an underlying consistent structure but the ever-present classic elements of fantasy really claim his work for that category.

Frankenstein, 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and The Hobbit fit that category.

It relies upon slightly on your definition of "technological information fiction or delusion," however the single that's the main suitable defined as SF is "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's courtroom." counting on the way you look at it, "A Christmas Carol," "Anthem," "scientific expert Faustus," "The Aeneid," and "Agamemnon" may be descibed as delusion, besides the certainty that others might call them allegories or mythic epics.
