The question is easy man, Homers are basically people who everyone loves despite them being really shitty or stupid people while Grimes are the ones who worked really hard at their masterpiece, get zero recognition and go unnoticed by the public along with their faults of pointing out how stupid the works of the Homer's of literature or philosophy are.
Hemingway and Joyce

Homer Simpson was named after a Nathanael West character, so I guess the Homer Simpson of literature is Homer Simpson

Plato and the Sophists
Gorgias:
>You know there's no objective standard of morality right? And meaning is inherently indeterminate?
Plato:
>Duhhh no, I can figure out what the Good is because my Daemon told me so!!! The concept of Justice physically exists in some transcendental realm!! Now let me go write my strawman-laden Socrates fanfic about how much you suck lol xD

It's almost like Plato is trying to make Socrates sound bad towards the end.
frank grimes is modernism
homer is post-modernism
