Homer was an influential blind poet who is considered one of the greatest and most prolific writers ever. His epic poems, Iliad and Odyssey, remain among the world’s classic works, frequently being performed live at concerts featuring him. Additionally, Homer composed his poetry using archaic Greek, which contains elements of other dialects.
There are various theories regarding Homer. Some scholars believe he was an individual author responsible for both of his great works, while others suggest they may have been composed from multiple sources by several different individuals – this idea is known as the Homeric Question.”
