doh!
Did Homer exist? I thought he was like a ghost actor where multiple people write under his name
We basically know nothing about who Homer was or whether he really wrote both stories. There are only a few survivng accounts about him, but they're all conflicting and could all be bogus.
Maybe he really did write both books. Maybe one but not the other. Maybe these stories were first passed down orally and he was just the first to write them down. Maybe he never existed at all.
The stories have a certain style of writing that in different ways showed techniques people used to use to remember their songs and folklore, like specific alliterations. This aligns with the theory that it's all oral history, told and retold over many a year.
The stories might be from an oral tradition, but someone wrote it down for the first time
And it was likely a unique version of the story.
Witch: I only reveal who people really are
Homer: mmmm forbidden pork
Community notes: "Homer was blind"
He did write multiple hymns to Artemis...
