This account of the hero Odysseus is based on The Odyssey, an epic poem attributed to Homer. By tradition in ancient times, Homer was a blind bard, one of the minstrels who recited long poems about the heroes of a bygone age. Homer was said to have written The Odyssey, but all we know with comparative certainty about the author of the epic is that he (or she or they) lived some 2700 years ago. |
