Who Is Hommer In Roman Myth?
Firstly, Homer is not in Roman myth. Homer was an early blind poet who lived in ancient Greece around the 7th and 8th Century BC. Homer is famous for several particular works but his total output is considered to be on par with that of Shakespeare. His most known works are the Illiad, which is an epic poem (written in 24 books) that tells the story of the Trojan War and the Odyssey, which tells the adventures of Odysseus on his journey home after the fall of Troy. Very little is known of Homer, his work survived mainly through the oral tradition, which presents major problems of authenticated authorial identity. Many scholars even doubt that one man even wrote Homer’s works (again a similarity to Shakespeare). Homeric study is a field of research that explore Homer’s work in great depth and is the staple of many of the traditional universities. Other famous Homers include Homer Simpson!
