The bronze bust of Homer the poet etches his face with crags and lines of age. Homer was known as the blind Greek poet. Greek poet Homer is thought to have compiled the two greatest epics known to man: The Iliad and the Odyssey. It is also claimed that Homer wrote the poem Batrachomyomachia, the battle of the frogs and mice. Little is known about his birthplace and life. Most known facts about Homer are based on legends and Herodotus' history.About Homer Greek PoetControversy about the identity of Homer the poet still persist amongst the scholars. In addition, the scholars are not sure the Greek poet Homer even wrote or created the epic poems of The Iliad or The Odyssey.However, the general consensus is it doesn't matter. The fact is these two stories are profoundly moving tales of the heroic and legendary aspirations of the Greek people. Whether they were created by a single individual or by an anonymous collective makes no difference in the end. Controversy aside, there is no question that both the Iliad and the Odyssey had a deep and far-reaching effect on the legends and myths of the ancient Greeks. Some of the most renowned characters of mythology play roles in either one or both of these epics: Achilles, Ajax, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Helen, Paris, Hector, Odysseus, Penelope, etc. are all vividly portrayed. They are heroes and heroines, but they are also human, with flaws and foibles like the rest of us. Homer the Greek poet has given us the relationships between mortals and immortals and the character and attributes of these gods and goddesses. Therefore, the Iliad and the Odyssey are perhaps our best sources for information on a significant number of mythological figures.
