Homer

thumb|right|Sanamu hii ya Homeri inapatikana katika makumbusho ya Kiingereza London; ni mwigo wa Kiroma wa mfano wa Kigiriki

Homeri (kwa Kigiriki: Ὅμηρος homeros) ndiye mshairi mashuhuri kabisa wa Ugiriki ya Kale. Mashairi makubwa yanayosimulia vita vya Troya (Ilias) na misafara ya mfalme Odiseo (Utenzi wa Odisei) yamehifadhiwa kama kazi zake.
Maswali juu yake

Wataalamu wa leo hutofautiana kama Homeri alikuwa kweli mtunzi wa mashairi hayo au kama ni sehemu za mashairi haya tu yaliyotungwa naye wakiamini ya kwamba kwa jumla ni mashairi ya kale yaliyowahi kuimbwa kabla yake. Pia kuna wataalamu wanaouliza kama Homeri alikuwa mtu wa kihistoria au kama ni jina tu lililopachikwa kwa mashairi haya.
Maisha

Kufuatana na mapokeo ya kale Homeri alikuwa mshairi kipofu aliyeishi katika eneo la Ionia (Asia Ndogo) lililokaliwa na walowezi Wagiriki mnamo karne ya 8 KK. Miji mbalimbali ya Ionia hutajwa kama mahali pa kuzaliwa kwake. Jina la mama yake lilikuwa Kreitheïs. Anasemekana alikufa kwenye kisiwa cha Ios.
