Homer, the greatest epic poet of ancient Greece, lived in the 8th century BC. However, the dating of his life is uncertain. Many cities disputed his origins, with Smyrna having perhaps the strongest claims. Many myths were created about his life. According to the most accepted tradition, he died in Ios.
Besides the "Iliad" (15,692 lines) and the "Odyssey" (12,110 lines), ancient tradition attributed other works to him. His two great epics are foundational for Greek history and education. In the 4th century BC, Pisinistratus compiled the Homeric poems, which, after editing primarily by the Alexandrians and subsequent corrections in modern times, have been passed down to us.
