"Like leaves on trees the race of man is found, Now green in youth, now withering on the ground: Another race the following spring supplies; They fall successive, and successive rise"
As you all already know, me llamo Homer. My love long walks on the beach, eating pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain. When I'm not eating pina coladas, I'm roaming around, singing my poetry to the people of Chios. I take much engagement in the Greek gods and the Trojan War which is why I had fashioned the Odyssey and the lliad. Okay, I'm done. :)
Circa 1260 BC, An engraving by A Cary of Ajax provoking Hector to the combat during the Trojan war. Could battle scenes like this, which appear in the famous epic poem the Iliad
I'm with my homies
In this picture, you can see that Dante is to my right...which is your left. I'm the blind one with my hand out... and my face tilted. :)
Me just roaming around
Often, I would walk around with my guide to assist me in my adventures
One of multiple sculptured portraits
Numerous scupltures and painters did works of me such as Galaton!
