That there was an epic poet called Homer and that he played the primary part in shaping the Iliad and the Odysseyâso much may be said to be probable. If this assumption is accepted, then Homer must assuredly be one of the greatest of the worldâs literary artists.
The poem is about some events that took place in final years of Trojan war that took place between Greece and Troy. Iliad is a big epic running into 24 books and covering events spread over a period of 54 days, Odyssey which is a sequel to Iliad was also written by Homer. Not much is known about Homer. According to traditions he was blind.
