It's likely that Homer didn't author the Odyssey, but rather wrote down the oral tradition that already existed.

It's likely Marge did the actual writing and let Homer take the credit.

If Marge was the author, large potatoes would feature more prominently in the story.

It’s also uncertain whether Homer was even a real person himself.

Would the name Homer not just refer to the person/people who wrote these stories down or is there more to it than that?
eurodyne@piefed.world · 10 pts · 16d
possibly-- Homer may have been an actual person, or the name may just refer to an amalgamation of people who compiled many myths and legends, passed down for generations through oral tradition, to paper, once and for all.

OP sounds like some kind of Homer simp, or perhaps a Homer simp's son
