biography pf homer?

Answer 1

Tradition holds that Homer was blind, and various Ionian cities claim to be his birthplace, but otherwise little is known about his life. There is considerable scholarly debate about whether Homer was a real person, or the name given to one or more oral poets who sang traditional epic material.

Answer 2

There is very little biographic material re. Homer. Many even debate whether or not all of the poems attributed to Homer were actually written by him. His birth is debatable but is often placed around 900 B.C.E. He was born on an unknown Greek colony on the coast of Asia Minor. As he was blind, he recited his poems. It is believed that his poems are modifications and extensions of current ballads.
