Why does Homeric Literature still survive Today?
Homer-Grolier Multimedia EncyclopediaWhy Homeric literature still survives today is a mystery that is a little easier to fathom than those discussed previously in the past pages. The exact history of Homer's works follow and an often dark and twisted path to finally become such a staple what we call our "classics" of literature. There were many years, long centuries in fact, when Homer's works completely disappeared, and then were rediscovered.

Thanks to this rediscovering the work of scribes of history, we still have these great epic works to enjoy, learn from, and become engrossed in today. Who was Homer? Where did he live and when? Questions like these are important, modern scholars have been pouring over them for years, dilligently looking for theories and answers. However perhaps most importantly is not the exact and scientific anthropology of Homer and his works, but the mere and simple fact that we have his wonderful and extremely old works as a part of our world's great classical libraries.
