Homer
Homer, a blind but nonetheless brilliant man, lived
sometime before 700 B.C.
Homer was probably born either on the island
Chios or at Smyrna.
He might or might not have been the
author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, the two greatest epic poems
of ancient Greece that were written around the year 750 BC.
But if he was, he was one heck of a guy.
Let's say he was.

for example, people have been digging for ages and haven't found
evidence that Homer's story is not true.
