Homer, the greatest epic poet of ancient Greece, lived in the 8th century BC. However, his exact dating is debated. Many cities claimed him as their own, with Smyrna probably having the most justifiable claims. Many myths were created about his life. According to the most accepted tradition, he died on Ios. Besides the "Iliad" (15,692 lines) and the "Odyssey" (12,110 lines), other works were attributed to him since antiquity. His two great epics are fundamental to Greek history and culture.
In the 4th century AD, Pisistratus collected the Homeric poems, which, after editing mainly by the Alexandrians and subsequent corrections in modern times, have been transmitted to us.
