# Homer

Homer is the traditional name attached to the Iliad and Odyssey, but authorship, date, composition process, and whether one historical poet stands behind both epics remain unresolved. The epics organize long oral-traditional narratives around war, homecoming, honor, mortality, hospitality, divine agency, household order, memory, and song.
