Homero
Homero is an ancient Greek poet, traditionally said to be the author of two of the most important epic poems in Western literature: the Iliad and the Odyssey. These works are foundational texts of ancient Greek culture and have influenced countless writers and artists throughout history. The Iliad focuses on the events of the Trojan War, while the Odyssey follows the adventures of the hero Odysseus as he returns home.
Little is known about Homero's life, and there is ongoing debate among scholars about when he lived, with estimates ranging from the 8th to the 6th century BCE. His poems were originally passed down orally before being written down, showcasing the rich tradition of storytelling in ancient Greece. Homero's influence extends beyond literature, impacting philosophy, art, and even modern storytelling techniques.
