About the author

Homer

-750–-650

Tradition remembers this ancient Greek poet as the voice behind the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epics that shaped storytelling for centuries. Even though little can be known for certain about the historical person, the poems linked to him still feel vivid, dramatic, and deeply human.
