About The Author
Homer
Little is known about the poet Homer. Some say he lived c. 850 BCE; others that he lived earlier - around 1102 BCE. He is considered to be the first and the greatest of the epic poets and is thought to be the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Plato’s Republic describes his importance to the ancient Greeks, calling him “the first teacher” of tragedy and the leader of learning.
