Homer passed away today

Could a man like Homer even exist today? in this modern age?

i'd imagine he would have just ended up in prison for a long time in his 20s


especially in this very emasculated culture

He didn't write it, Greeks said that Homer was blind. Homer was only the poetic tale teller and could not write.
