Biographical Text

Homer is the name credited to the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, as well as a series of poems known as the Homeric Poems. It is possible that he is a conglomerate, a reference to any wandering, blind poet. The works attributed to him became canons of Western culture and are still studied today.
