Homer was a legendary character. We do not know with confidence anything about his life. There are stories about him, but we have little certainty about whether they are accurate, of even whether Homer was a real person or a traditional name used to attach the epic poems to.
It is thought that he may have lived some time in the period 6th to 8th Century BCE. He may have been born in Chios or elsewhere. Or it may have just been a name cooked up to attach to the versions of the epic poems which the wandering bards sang, and when aversion of this was written down after cursive writing was invented, the name Homer was attached to it. That's how vague our knowledge is.
