Description
Some scholars say that he was an invention of the Greek imagination. But the present consensus maintains that he was a real person who lived on the eastern shore of the Aegean in the eighth century B.C. Most likely a citizen of the city of Smyrna - now Turkish Izmir - he wrote two epics which captured the spirit, the patriotism and the values of early Greek civilization. The description of the war with Troy embodies the heroic ethos of seafaring buccaneers. Homer made sure that history would never forget Paris and Helen, Achilles and Hector, Priam and Ulysses, Aphrodite and Athena. Recorded on November 3, 1998.
