Introducing Homer
Homer is one of the most famous and revered figures in ancient Greek literature, traditionally credited with composing two of the greatest epic poems of ancient Greece: The Iliad and The Odyssey. These works, written in dactylic hexameter, are cornerstones of Western literature, with The Iliad focusing on the events of the Trojan War and The Odyssey recounting the adventures of Odysseus as he returns home after the war. While little is known about Homer's life, some ancient sources suggest he was blind, though this is largely considered part of legend rather than fact. Scholars debate whether "Homer" was a single individual or a name representing a collective tradition of oral storytellers. His work has influenced countless generations and remains central to the study of classical mythology and literature.
