Excerpt from The Odyssey, Vol. 1 of 2: With an English Translation by A. T. MurrayThe name Homer brings before the mind a definite picture of the blind minstrel, roaming from city to city and singing or chanting portions of the great poems that are traditionally ascribed to him. Such a type is splendidly represented by the bust of Homer in the Naples Museum, and almost all that tradition tells of the poet, save in so far as it is made up of statements regarding his date - which in turn rest upon combinations often demonstrably false - groups itself about such a typical figure, and is plainly without historic worth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
