Homer’s The Iliad Biography

Description

Homer (the mind-boggling presence we call ‘Homer’) is a shadowy figure whose first biographers (or innovators) accepted had been brought into the world not long after the Sack ofTroy, customarily dated in 1184 BC.1 Eratosthenes of Cyrene, bookkeeper of Alexandria, who among different accomplishments precisely determined the circumference of the earth, expressed in his Chronographiae that Homer was a near contemporary of Hector and Achilles.
