About the Author

Homer (8th or 9th century BCE) is the presumed author of The Iliad and the Odyssey, two great epic poems of ancient Greece. Little is known of him, but given the historical assumption that Homer was the author of the two epics, it cannot be denied that he was then one of the greatest of the world's literary artists.
