Did Homer ever exist? #Shorts #minidocumentary

The existence of Homer, the legendary ancient Greek poet traditionally credited with composing the epic poems "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," remains a subject of debate among scholars and historians. Many ancient texts refer to Homer, but these references are often shrouded in myth and legend. The lack of concrete biographical information has led some scholars to question whether Homer was a single historical figure or a collective name for a group of poets. One theory suggests that these epic poems were passed down orally through generations before being transcribed, making it difficult to attribute them to a single author and argue they were created before a Greek alphabet was in place. Another theory posits that "Homer" could have been a pseudonym used by multiple poets. Some scholars believe parts of the Odyssey and Iliad were written by a female poet like Sappho. Many thought Homer just collected the poems and put them together. Whether a single person or a collective, "Homer" remains a symbol of literary greatness in antiquity.
