Homer
Homer is
the name ascribed by the Ancient
Greeks to the semi-legendary author of the two epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the central works of Greek literature. Many accounts of Homer's life circulated in classical antiquity, the most widespread being that he was a blind
bard from Ionia, a region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey. The modern scholarly consensus is that these
traditions do not have any historical value.
Homer and His Guide, by William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825–1905),
portraying Homer on Mount Ida, beset by dogs and guided by the goatherder Glaucus (as told
in Pseudo-Herodotus)
Lyric Poem
Lyric
Poetry consists of a poem,
such as a sonnet or an ode, that expresses the
thoughts and feelings of the poet. The term lyric is now commonly referred to
as the words to a song. Lyric poetry does not tell a story which portrays
characters and actions. The lyric poet addresses the reader directly,
portraying his or her own feeling, state of mind, and perceptions.
