著者について
Homer, the revered and enigmatic figure of ancient Greek literature, is traditionally considered the author of two of the greatest epics in the Western canon: 'The Iliad' and 'The Odyssey.' The biographical details of Homer are shrouded in the mists of history, with scholarly debate continuing over his existence and the true authorship of the works attributed to him. It is commonly believed that he lived during the 8th or early 7th century BCE, and was possibly a bard from the Ionian region. 'The Odyssey,' his epic poem of homecoming and adventure, has captivated readers for millennia with its rich narrative and complexity of characterization, notably the cunning Greek hero Odysseus. The work delves into themes of perseverance, loyalty, and the human struggle against the whims of the divine. Homer's dactylic hexameter, a meter known as the 'epic measure,' set the standard for epic poetry and influenced countless works across generations. His contribution to the literary world not only provided the foundation for Greek literature but also shaped the entire Western literary tradition. Although the specifics of Homer's life remain elusive, his legacy is indisputable, solidified by a timeless oeuvre that continues to be studied and revered to this day.
