His audience was very judgmental in the sense that they never believed that he wrote his own work. People looked at his long stanzas and thought that he could have never done any of it. The challenge was then for him to prove his work. By the time he was able to do so, there wasn’t very much controversy in the way he wrote. His poems and work were an important part of the Greek Culture due to the fact that his plays are known due to the fact that they were written in the famous Trojan War era. He was arguably the greatest poet of the ancient world. His work inspired many people in ways that were not seen before. There is no question to who he is related to automatically. There is many links to Ancient Greece within his works. “When we think of the blind poet Homer with relation to Ancient Greece, the first thing that comes to our mind is his beautiful epic poems Iliad and Odyssey.”
