This is a lecture about Homer,
“Iliad” and “Odyssey” guy,
So, to the following questions
Today we need to reply:

Who was Homer?
Was he blind?
Is Homer one man or a number of people?
Is Homer a name or maybe it’s a profession?
Did he even exist?
And really, why do we care?

I change my answers every year
According to the latest finds.
At the moment, as far as we care,
The following picture transpires:

Who was Homer?
Nobody knows.

Was he blind?
Perhaps.

Is Homer one man or a number of people?
There is no consensus.

Is Homer a name or may be it’s a profession?
Could be any of those.

Did he even exist?
Most likely.

And really, why do we care?
It’s all about eternal topics,
This Iliad and Odyssey stuff.
Be sure to read these immortal epics.
I think I told you enough
