traditional sources give 1194-1184 BC as the probable date for the Trojan War, which agrees well with the archeological evidence but cannot be confirmed.
Virgil and Homer were both epic poets who wrote influential works about the heroism and struggles of their respective civilizations. They both composed epic poems that are considered masterpieces of ancient literature: Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," and Virgil's "Aeneid." They also drew inspiration from mythology and folklore in their works.
The Muses were called upon for inspiration.
worldwide, probably homer simpson
Modern writers influenced by Homer include Margaret Atwood, Madeline Miller, and Derek Walcott. These authors have drawn inspiration from Homer's epic poems, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, in their own works, reimagining ancient themes and characters in a contemporary context.
The first pargraph of the Odyssey is an invocation (plea) to the muses, in which Homer asks for divine inspiration, based on the heroism of Odysseus.
It is believed Homer got the inspiration from war, and the aftermaths of what happens after war. The Iliad is about the triumph of war, and the glory that comes from it. The Odyssey is a more sobering version about warriors dealing with what happens after the war. Despite being victorious in war, there are countless tragedies, the most poignant being Clymestra's betrayal of Agamemnon.
Homer's father, John, expects him to follow in his footsteps and work in the coal mines. He believes that Homer should prioritize helping to provide for the family over pursuing his interests in rocketry. John struggles to understand Homer's passion for rockets and sees it as a waste of time and effort.
The Odyssey is a poem written by Homer and is not based on actual events
Probably the same... but I'd say that Homer Simpson just slightly edges this one.
Probably Homer, Dolly doesn't have much of an audience outside the South
Honestly, probably Homer Simson. Wow... i never thought of that but now that i do, that is sad :) lol
Homer opens the Odyssey with an invocation to the Muse to inspire and guide him in telling the story of Odysseus' journey. This sets the tone for the epic and emphasizes the importance of storytelling and divine inspiration in the narrative. By invoking the Muse, Homer establishes the epic as a work of poetry that draws on divine inspiration and sets the stage for the epic tale that follows.
