Homer is the legendary author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that are the central works of ancient Greek
literature. The Iliad is set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy by a coalition of Greek kingdoms.
It focuses on a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles lasting a few weeks during the last year of the
war. The Odyssey focuses on the ten-year journey home of Odysseus, king of Ithaca, after the fall of Troy. Many accounts
of Homer’s life circulated in classical antiquity, the most widespread being that he was a blind bard from Ionia, a region of
central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. Modern scholars consider these accounts legendary.
