Homer (Ancient Greek: Ὅμηρος) is an ancient Greek bard who is traditionally regarded as the author of the epic poems "Iliad" and "Odyssey". Although modern academic circles generally believe that the two epics were not written by the same author, Homer is still highly respected in ancient Greek society and is regarded as one of the most influential writers in history. "The Iliad" is set in the last year of the Trojan War and mainly describes the conflict between King Agamemnon of Mycenae and the hero Achilles; "The Odyssey" tells the story of King Odysseus of Ithaca and his ten-year arduous journey back home after the fall of Troy. Both epics describe the struggle of human beings in the face of fate and suffering. Among them, "The Odyssey" particularly focuses on how Odysseus perseveres under the punishment and tests of the gods. The epics were written in "Homeric Greek", incorporating features of the Ionian and Aeolian dialects of different eras. Most researchers believe that these epic poems were originally passed down through oral recitation. Homer's epic poems profoundly shaped the culture and education of ancient Greece, cultivating core values ​​such as heroic spirit, glory and honor. The philosopher Plato once succinctly called Homer "the man who educated all Greece." In Dante's "Divine Comedy", Virgil calls Homer the "King of Poets"; the British poet Alexander Pope also pointed out in the preface to his English translation of "The Iliad" that Homer has always been regarded as "the greatest poet". From ancient times to the present, Homer's epic poems continue to inspire countless works of literature, music, art and film. As for who created the Iliad and the Odyssey, when, where and under what circumstances they were completed, they are still a matter of debate in academic circles. Modern scholars generally believe that the two epics were not written by the same author, but were completed by different poets. It is generally speculated that they were created between the end of the 8th century BC and the beginning of the 7th century BC. There are many legends about Homer's life in classical times, the most well-known of which is that he was a blind bard from Ionia, Anatolia. However, modern academic circles generally believe that these life records are legends and lack reliable historical basis.
