The Resume

    Probably lived sometime in the 8th Century B.C.
    Credited as the author of 'The Illiad,' 'The Odyssey,' 'Batrachomyomachia' and 'Margites'

Why he might be annoying:

    Extremely little is known about his life.
    He may have never existed.
    Many scholars debate whether he authored his famous epic poems.
    He supposedly spoke many stories and poems, but only a handful were written down.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is fabled as being a blind man who traveled far and wide telling the ancient Greek legends.
    The 'Illiad' and 'The Odyssey' are extremely influential and famous works of ancient literature.
    If not for him, the legends of the Trojan War would most likely have been forgotten with time.
