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 Iliad tells the story of the Trojan War and is, along with the Odyssey, one of the two major Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer, a blind Ionian poet. Scholars dispute whether Homer existed, and whether he was one person, but they usually date the poems to the 9th or 8th century BC.t is impossible to designate the roles found in the Iliad between Achilles and Patroclus along pederastic lines. Achilles is the most dominant. Among the warriors in the Trojan War he has the most fame. Patroclus performs duties such as cooking, and nursing yet is older than Achilles.
