Homer is said to be blind, so who recorded and circulated his poems?

Homer, a blind poet from the 9th century to the 8th century, mainly wrote Homer's epics. Homer's epic is divided into two parts: Iliad and Odyssey. It describes the Trojan War from BC 12 to BC 1 1 century, as well as the long narrative stories about maritime adventures in ancient Greece. Homer's works are very influential and have a direct impact on western religion and culture. However, due to Homer's long history, there are few documents about it, so there are still many disputes about whether this man exists.

Thucydides, Herodotus, Plato and Aristotle in ancient Greece all believed that Homer really existed. It was not until the18th century that French monks Zheng Duo Bien and Vico first questioned that Homer was the representative of Greek rap artists of all ethnic groups, and that his works were not the works of one person. After putting forward this view, the whole academic community has demonstrated it. But most people in academic circles still believe that Homer exists, and Homer's epic is indeed his work. The name Homer also has different interpretations. Some people say Homer is? Hostage? So Homer may have been born as a prisoner; Others think? Homer? It means to combine together, so some people think that the epic is actually a collection of essays.

Since some people doubt whether Homer exists, others doubt whether he is blind. But even if he is really blind, he may be acquired like Beethoven's deafness. Beethoven is called a great musician, which has nothing to do with his deafness, so Homer is called a great poet, which has nothing to do with his blindness. Even if you were born blind. In fact, like Helen Keller or Hawking, you can find someone to help him record his thoughts, such as his descendants, servants he paid for and so on. The solution is always more difficult than the reality. Ancient Greece was a city-state, with a small population but social democracy, and the relationship between people was relatively close. From population to population is one of his ways of describing poetry. Besides, it is not particularly difficult to write them down with the corresponding recording tools. Later, Rome defeated Greece, but it still inherited Greek culture, and even the later Renaissance used these ancient Greek works extensively.
