Abstract
Did Homer really exist? Was he the sole creator of the two most outstanding poems of Occidental poetry, The Iliad and The Odyssey? Where was he born? In which date was the Homeric work composed? These and other questions are posed by Victor Bérard, who in his penetrating analysis of the "Homeric Issue" leads us, in a son of yearbook (X century b. C. - XX century a. C.) to get to know the vicissitudes, the study and the critic in which these two Homeric poems have been through throughout almost one hundred generations. As it seems, the doubt and even the "Homeric atheism" were a constant throughout almost three millenniums amongst the scholars of Homer and his work. However, with the help of philology and archeology, modern investigators have reached the conclusion that Homer did exist and that he is the sole creator of the two poems and all their episodes.
