About the Author
Little is known for certain about the life of Homer, the Greek poet credited as the author of the great epics The Iliad and The Odyssey, although he is believed to have been born sometime between the twelfth and eighth centuries BC. The Odyssey describes the trials of the hero Odysseus on his journey home to Ithaca following the Trojan War. It has had a huge influence on Western literature, inspiring extensive translations, poems, plays and novels.

He is deeply committed to opening up the study of the classical world to wider audiences and is the co-founder of the Herodotus Helpline - a free online seminar series open to anyone interested in the ancient Greek historian Herodotus and his world.
