Did Homer really exist? Historians to this day have not come to a consensus on this matter. But there is and cannot be any doubt about one thing: the epic poems “Iliad” and “Odyssey” attributed to the great “blind Aed” once and for all changed the face of European literature. We all remember the story of the beautiful Helen and the frantic Achilles, the courageous Hector and the noble Patroclus. We are all familiar with the story of the dangerous adventures of the cunning Odysseus, doomed by the Olympian gods to ten years of wandering. The Iliad and Odyssey have been tried to be analyzed, interpreted and interpreted countless times. They were called either allegories, or poetic chronicles of real historical events, or rhymed records of myths. But what are they really? Do we understand what hidden intellectual, cultural, historical and philosophical depths lie hidden in the texts of Homer, familiar from childhood? Here are just a few of them questions answered in his book by the famous Argentine writer, critic, translator and literary critic Alberto Mangel, one of the most famous modern researchers of ancient literature.
