Homér citáty
strana 5

Homér je jméno nejstaršího známého řeckého básníka, jemuž se připisuje sepsání epických básní Ilias a Odysseia. Jeho jméno se vykládalo jako „Rukojmí“, nebo častěji podle jeho domnělé slepoty ze spojení ὁ μὴ ὁρῶν - „nevidící“, jako „Slepý“. Krom obou eposů se mu také připisují tzv. Homérské hymny, směšnohrdinský epos Batrachomyomachia parodující Ilias, lyrické básně na oslavu antických božstev, epigramy a další zlomky. Homérova podoba není známa, jeho sochy nevycházejí ze skutečnosti. Wikipedia
