Homer is a semi‑legendary poet from Ionia, credited by the ancient Greeks with composing the two great epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Scholars place his works in the 8th or 7th century BCE, though his historicity remains uncertain. He is regarded as the father of Western epic poetry, and his verses have shaped the literary and cultural imagination of Greece and the wider world for over two millennia.
