Homer (Ὅμηρος, Hómēros) is best known as the author of the Iliad and The Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he is central to the Western canon.

When he lived, as well as whether he lived at all, is unknown. He may have been a mythical figure. If he was a real person, he may have lived between 1100 BCE and 850 BCE.
