Homer didnt exist. Rather its ancient folktales that the greek bard told while travelling from town to town. Hence why it rhymes, so they could remember it. You could compare it to the grimm fairytales being one big book. All stories made by various people and collected over the years. Yet, there is not a grimm brother who actually made all those fairytales himself.

The iliad was "completed" this way. After that was done, the greek people came up with the oddysee in the same way. Then it was atributed to homer. In ancient times, there where a lot of works attributed to homer. To give the works authority. Eventually all works where dropped except for the two main ones. Historians are sure those were at least works by different writers. I'm convinced numerous bards composed all the work, adding and removing parts to make it as epic as possible and earn money and commemorate the very real Troy war. With other words the works are essentially full on musical albums, with only the lyrics remaining.

Pretty cool that his stuff is so influential and still read nowadays

Was probably not one single guy though

I love the Homer Question. It’s definitely impossible to know but I like to think he was born Melesignenes, took on the name Homer and was a blind thief, plagiarist and con man

He f*** your girl man? Damn!

Are you saying Banksy is the Homer of our times

Plato: That's why I f***ed yo b****, you fat motherfucker

Not at all no .

ambrosia? thank god i was into greek mythology when i was lil

unfortunately noone reads homer these days, the fact that ancient tragedies are still in the stores is more of a relic of traditional western education system that was into ancient greece as the prototypical republic state

Yk we keep it on us @Terry

Thats my goat you’re disparaging

Same fr

iliad > odyssey

also he was probably multiple people

i means it not possible to know considering the formalization of the work took hundreds of years, so it couldn’t be one person, the same applies to most epic poems like the Mahabharata
