传说中的希腊史诗诗人，被认为是希腊史诗《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的作者。总的来说，古希腊人认为荷马是一位历史人物，但现代学者对此表示怀疑，因为他的传记从古典时代幸存下来并没有可靠的翻译，而引用的关于他的史诗代表了许多世纪口头叙述的积累和精心的诗意的阐述。马丁·韦斯特认为荷马不是历史诗人的名字，而是化名。”荷马的生平是古典时代争论的焦点，这一争论一直持续到现在。希罗多德说荷马活了四百年在他的时代之前，这可能意味着他生活在公元前 850 年。大约，而其他古代资料认为他生活在接近所谓的特洛伊战争的时期，埃拉托色尼 (Eratosthenes)，他努力证明特洛伊战争事件的科学日历，认为它是在公元前 1184 年到 1194 年之间。

The Iliad novel pdf read and download by 荷马

In the spring of 1862 some personal friends asked me to print, for private circulation only, a small volume of “Translations of Ancient and Modern Poems,” which was included in the first book of the Iliad. The opinions expressed by some competent judges about the degree of success with this were "an attempt to infuse something of the soul, as well as the simplicity of the great original", in an unpublished English version. Enough to encourage me to continue the work I have started. It has afforded me, in periods of more urgent work, a constant and ever-increasing source of interest; Not without a feeling of remorse at the completion of my task, and sincere shyness at its success, I dare to subject the result of my work to the ordeal of public criticism. The work itself, forbid me to expect any wide popularity of this translation. First, I am afraid that the appreciation and appreciation of classical literature is greatly declining; Then, those who have continued their classical studies, and are able to read and enjoy the original, will not be interested in mere translation; Whereas an English reader, unfamiliar with Greek, would naturally prefer the harmonious uniformity and polished intelligence of the Pope's translation; which, as a happy adaptation of Homer's story to the spirit of English poetry, I suppose I do not presume to enter into competition.
