Homer, a Greek poet of the 8th century BC, to whom is attributed the Iliad and the Odyssey, two great epic poems of ancient Greece. In both poems there is a plan and a structure that reveals the activity of a poet conscious of his art. Homer makes use of the procedures of oral tradition. Legends and traditions were handed down orally from generation to generation by aedos and rhapsodes, who sang or recited them from memory before an audience that did not know how to write, until they culminated in the great Homeric poems.
