About Homer (c. 8th century BCE)
Greek epic poet traditionally credited with the Iliad and the Odyssey, the foundational works of Western literature. Closely associated with Hesiod (near-contemporary Greek poet of Theogony and Works and Days). For an intellectual contrast, see Plato, Greek philosopher of the Republic — Republic Book X bans the poets from the ideal city, with Homer as the explicit target — Plato argued Homer's gods set immoral examples and that poetry corrupts moral education. The founding philosophy-versus-poetry quarrel of Western thought.
