| 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.  | |

Author DisambiguationHow many authors?Homer is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.
This entry includes…
Combine with…
What?
Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary?
A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as"
lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily,
so collections match up and everything runs smoothly.
Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above?
A: Yes you can.
Q: I know an author is separate, but my nemesis keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list?
A: Yes you can.
Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not.
Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author?
A: No authors.
Q: I am the nemesis and I'm right!
A: Take it to the Combiners group.
