Biographie de l'auteur :
In the Western classical tradition, Homer is considered the author of The Iliad and The Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. These epics lie at the beginning of the Western canon of literature, and have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. When he lived is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE, while other ancient sources claim that he lived much nearer to the supposed time of the Trojan War, in the early 12th century BCE. Most modern researchers place Homer in the 7th or 8th centuries BCE. The formative influence of the Homeric epics in shaping Greek culture was widely recognized, and Homer was described as the teacher of Greece. Homer's works, which are about fifty percent speeches, provided models in persuasive speaking and writing that were emulated throughout the ancient and medieval Greek worlds. Fragments of Homer account for nearly half of all identifiable Greek literary papyrus finds.
Présentation de l'éditeur :
Homer was an ancient Greek poet who is thought to be the first and greatest of all the epic poets. The Iliad and The Odyssey are the first known works of literature in Europe and are the cornerstone of Western literature. The Odyssey is partially a sequel to The Iliad. This epic poem focuses on Odysseus' long journey home after the fall of Troy. It took the Greeks ten years to defeat the Trojans and it took Odysseus ten years to return home after.
