Who was the first known author in the history of western literature?
If you take "Western literature" to mean "European", and "known author" to mean "named individual", then either Homer or Hesiod would be the earliest named author of a work of literature. Scholars are divided on whether an individual called "Homer" ever existed, and even if he did, the stories he told were much older than him. If he did exist, it was probably in the 6th or 7th centuries BC/BCE. Unlike Homer, Hesiod refers to himself in his poetry. But his existence is not corroborated by any external source. He describes himself as a native of Boeotia in central Greece, around 700BC/BCE.
