HOMERO
Homero siglo VIII a. C., es el nombre dado al aedo griego antiguo a quien tradicionalmente se le atribuye la autoría de las principales poesías épicas griegas ?la Ilíada y la Odisea?. Desde el periodo helenístico se ha cuestionado si el autor de ambas obras épicas fue la misma persona; sin embargo, anteriormente no solo no existían estas dudas sino que la Ilíada y la Odisea eran considerados relatos históricos reales. No cabe duda de que es el pilar sobre el que se apoya la épica grecolatina y, por ende, la literatura occidental.
