HOMER
? - ?

Homer, a blind but brilliant man, lived sometime before 700 B.C.

Homer was probably born either on the island Chios or at Smyrna.

He might or might not have been the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that were written down around the year 750 BC. But if he was, he was one heck of a guy.

Let's say he was.

WHAT'S TRUE, WHAT AIN'T?
Archaeologists are still trying to figure that out. At Troy, for example, people have been digging for ages and haven't found evidence that Homer's story is not true.
