First of all, homer is an incredible author who is most famously known for writing the odyssey and the Iliad. He strived in the Bronze age which was his first-time writing. This is another reason his work has stood through time because of the importance and effect he has had on future works. With the first writing system being created this was also extremely important in trade. The Phoenicians used writing with trade as they would jot their imports and exports down to keep track. This allowed them to stay ahead of the trade game. Then years later the Greeks adapted the language as well. With the Greeks adapting the language, they changed the whole game, they used the language to write current and past events and even used it to make up stories. Once this happened Homer finally began to make his mark. Homer composed two epics. These epics were called Odyssey and the Iliad. Homer was proclaimed to create fiction books about the old wars. Later discovered his work was not all fiction. The views and arts, he described were discovered in 1870. People do not know how exactly homer composed these plays if he just went off memory? or did he base it off of written scripts? In my opinion, I think it was a mixture of both. Their real-life experiences and his memory also with to the conversations, he had with his characters in the story. Both stories are developed through action and historic events that happened. During the 10-year trojan war, Homer is believed to cross troy and catch these incredible "epics".
