from the article: "...historian and award-winning author Adam Nicolson suggests that Homer be thought of not as a person but as a tradition..."

Uh, I don't understand, why is this even debatable, when the answer is readily at hand -- why not just ask him?

I mean, we're talking about Homer, right, who posts long stories about a great war, involving unbelievable violence, and brutal slaughter, battles, ship wrecks and long travels home?

So, I'm asking, tell us Homer -- are your for real, are you two people, are you a tradition of the whole community, and is your material original, or do you take it from other sources?
Inquiring minds want to know... but don't give away any secrets, after all, "loose lips sink ships", doncha know.
