He can say that if he wants to. Doesn’t make it true ... no, not even if it’s in a book.

Shakespeare used Petrarch so he didn’t write Julius Ceaser. FedEx use ATC so Fred Smith didn’t build that. Apple uses Al Gore’s internet so Steve Jobs didn’t build that.

I do added that Homer matters.

Actually it probably is true. The identity of, much less existence of, Homer is a long standing quandary. And most folks that are deep into the history think there probably was no Homer.

I’ve studied this question for a while, and I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no one “Adam Nicolson”. It’s just a pseudonym used by a whole series of authors and editors, perhaps an entire culture, who contributed to the work ascribed to that name.
