Short biography
The ancient Greeks believed not only that one man named Homer composed the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey", but also ascribe a host of other works to him, including much of the epic cycle now lost to us. The consensus of most conventional scholarship suggests that if all or parts of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" were in fact the work of the same author, he probably composed them sometime around the 8th or 9th centuries BCE, and that they were transmitted by succeeded generations, first orally and then in written form. There are, however, many theories in Homeric scholarship, and few of the ideas can be conclusively proven or disproven with the evidence that has come down to us.
