Homer is considered a very important person in history. He was alive around 700 to 750 B.C. Homer was famous for creating (not writing) the Iliet and the Oddesy. Homer was born in Greece. He was a blind poet and a songwriter. One of the main characters was nanmed Demodokos. Many people belive that Homer created this character to be a lot like him. This is why people believed he was blind and some of the other assomptions about him were from this character. Many believe Homer was born in either Lonia, Smyrna, or the cost of Asia Minor.

The Iliet and the oddesy weren't written down until about 800-700 B.C. The Illiad took place during the Trojan war. It is about someone traveling fron island to island (it was believed that the worlf was made up of islands at that time) trying to get a captive back.
