Homeros Homer Books

Homer stands as the foundational epic poet of the Western classical tradition, authoring works that initiated the Western literary canon. His compositions, characterized by their substantial use of speeches, established enduring models for persuasive speaking and writing throughout antiquity and the medieval period. Revered as the 'teacher of Greece,' Homer's epics profoundly shaped Greek culture, with fragments of his poetry constituting a significant portion of identifiable ancient Greek literary papyri.
