It is not so much that people did not believe in Homer as he actually existed. It is that it is extremely likely that it was not Homer who wrote the Iliad and Odyssey. They were traditional poems passed from generations through oral traditions. Both epic poems are attributed to Homer but probably not written by him.

What are stereotypes about Kentucky?

I'm from Kentucky myself, I do not believe any of these obviously. After doing some research I have found people have the complete wrong idea about Kentucky. They believe we go shoe less, have no teeth, have children with our relatives, and have no sense. It really bothers me for people to think this way and makes me want to change their thoughts on this. So anyone reading this who is not from Kentucky, please believe we are nothing like that. Were not poor, we don't have children with family members, we wear shoes, and are just like all of you.
