OP sounds like some kind of Homer simp, or perhaps a Homer simp's son
Wonder how many people are "omg that's why that ep was called "homer's odyssey" " and how many more i created with this comment
What? There’s a poem?
/s
Isn't it an autobiography?
It's likely that Homer didn't author the Odyssey, but rather wrote down the oral tradition that already existed.
It's likely Marge did the actual writing and let Homer take the credit.
If Marge was the author, large potatoes would feature more prominently in the story.
It’s also uncertain whether Homer was even a real person himself.
Would the name Homer not just refer to the person/people who wrote these stories down or is there more to it than that?
possibly-- Homer may have been an actual person, or the name may just refer to an amalgamation of people who compiled many myths and legends, passed down for generations through oral tradition, to paper, once and for all.
Oh yes, please tell me more about this oral tradition of the ancient Greeks! ;)
Something something only male apprentices for male scholars something something the semen contains the knowledge...that's about the jizz of it
The manga is better.
Whomever it is I bet they are rich AF now.
My good friend, this hulking dude who only has one eye, said that no one wrote it.
It's crazy how Hatsune Miku went from THIS to Harry Potter 🤮
