| Homer - A Man or Myth? |
As I was thinking what I would address you all on today, (I feel like I have so much freedom in this transition phase !) I thought about some of the most interesting and debated topics of history. I did some Wikipedia surfing and found an interesting post on the
Homeric Question. In sum, this is a complete tearing apart of the man "Homer" to discover the person behind the stories. Was he really one person, are the stories compiled from a "million pieces" format, is Homer a person at all or a descriptor turned to author? All these questions beg answers from only what oral tradition can or could have told them thousands of years ago.
