A Greek poet, one of the pillars of ancient Greek culture. He left a tremendous legacy represented in two epics in the history of world literature, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey." Historians have disagreed about his birth and upbringing. While some believe that he lived in the period 850 BC, others believe that he lived during the Trojan War, during which he sang poetry there, resulting in his war-inspired epic.
