Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. The true identity of the author (or authors) of "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad" is not known. To which name are these great classics attributed?"
...1. Hauser 2. Plato 3. Ovid 4. Homer Though "The Odyssey" and "The Iliad" are two of the cornerstones of Western literature, nothing concrete is known about their authorship. They have been attributed to 'Homer' since ancient times, but modern scholarship questions the veracity of this attribution. Did this 'Homer' really exist? Were these great works written by the same author or two different authors? Were they tales passed orally through generations? Were each of them written by several authors? It's likely that the facts of the matter will never be known. It's equally likely that they will remain two of the most revered masterpieces of Western literature.
