Homer is the author of Odyssey and is consider as the greatest ancient Greek poet. His work is said to have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. Many scholars believe that the original poem was composed in an oral tradition by an aoidos (epic poet/singer), perhaps a rhapsode (professional performer), and was more likely intended to be heard than read. The motive of Homer writing this masterpiece was probably to give to the people a work that would entertain and enlighten the cultural life of the people and show the story of Odysseus.
