Homer is the name traditionally ascribed to the brilliant Greek bard
that authored, most notably, the Iliad and the Odyssey (Western
civilization's first complete stories). Nothing concrete is known of
his life, but he is traditionally thought to be blind and was probably
born in either Chios or Smyrna. His epic poems were most likely
memorized and recited in bardic lays and only later written down. While
the details and dates of Homer's life have been lost in the mists of
time, the Iliad and Odyssey were probably composed in the late eighth
century B.C.
