Biography of Homer

Book Summary by: AngieRodriguez     

Original Author: wangming. Translated by Angie Rodriguez
This abstract was translated from Biografia de Homero
Homer is the man who wrote, according to the legend, the two greatest epic works of the greek history: The Illiad (the story
of the Trojan war) and The oddysey (About the Odysseus journeys) Both books are considered as milestones in the literature, and Homer is frequently quoted as the beggining of the literary and historical occidental tradition. The details about Homer''s life are a mistery; some erudits believe this man never existed, and his works were really related and registered by many people through the centuries. Another stories refers to many birthplaces and ages to Homer, and suggest that he was a poet or a wandering troubador. It''s usually said that Homer was blinded, a subject where all the legends agree.
