Homer is a Greek poet believed to have lived sometime in the 8th century BC. He is considered one of the most important poets of Western literature and is attributed with two of ancient Greece’s most influential works: The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad tells the story of the Trojan War, in which the Greeks fought against the city of Troy. The work focuses on the character of Achilles, a Greek warrior, and his anger that leads him to make decisions that change the course of the war. The Odyssey, on the other hand, narrates the story of Odysseus, a Greek warrior who struggles to return home after the Trojan War.
Both works are considered fundamental to understanding the culture, mythology, and history of ancient Greece. Homer is recognized for his ability to narrate exciting stories and complex characters and has been a lasting influence on literature, art, and Western culture in general.
