Teaser: Homer (Patreon)

This is a teaser of the bonus episode, Homer found over on Patreon.I have decided to remain in the Archaic period for a little longer. This time we are going to turn to Homer and what is seen as the birth of epic poetry in Greece. The poetry Homer would produce and the works that would appear to imitate it would be labelled Homeric Poetry. In my look at Homer I plan to do a 3 part mini series over the next 3 bonus episodes. In this, the first, we will look at the man Homer, who he was and what has been attributed to him. We will then turn to the different elements that would make up Homeric poetry, before then briefly looking at two of his major works, The Iliad and The Odyssey. Though over the next 2 episodes we will be devoting one each to both of these works where we can explore them a bit deeper.
