Greek poet Homer was the major figure in ancient Greek literature. He is considered the greatest poet of classical antiquity. He was a great poet in the history of epic poetry. He stands as high in that department as William Shakespeare does in the drama; Herodotus in History; Socrates, Plato, Aristotle in Philosophy; Auguste Comte in Sociology; Robi Tagore in Bangla Literature; and Adam Smith in Economics.

Homer was born sometime between the 12th and 8th centuries BC, possibly somewhere on the coast of Asia Minor. Most probably in 800 BC in Ionia, Smyrna, Greece. Herodotus calculates that Homer lived 400 years before his own time. It is suspected for his famous epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey are written considering Asiatic Greek, specifically Ionic. Homer’s actual life may perhaps continue to be a puzzle, even so, the extremely real impression connected with the performance is constantly the provide light for our universe today.
