Legendary Author who Authored Iliad and the Odyssey is Attributed, Greatest and Most Influential Authors of all Time
: The legendary author to whom the authorship of the Iliad and the Odyssey (the two epic poems that are the foundational works of ancient Greek literature) is attributed. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential authors of all time. In Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Virgil refers to him as "Poet sovereign", king of all poets; in the preface to his translation of the Iliad, Alexander Pope acknowledges that Homer has always been considered the"greatest of poets".

Quote #15 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Revolution and The Masses
“I do not blame the suitors' overconfidence, rough ways and violence, in eating up his household; they risk their lives, supposing that the master will never come back home. But I do blame you others, sitting passive, never speaking against them, though you far outnumber them.”
