In addition to the obvious, wasn’t Homer not a person? I feel like I heard that it was more of a legend people collected stories under. May have that mixed up with something else though.
Sorta kinda. There might have been a poet we know as Homer, but the consensus is he did not “write” the trojan war poems (we only have two out of the eight - illiad and Odyssey). People have been arguing about this before any of us were born
