Though details are scarce, he supposedly lived between the sixth and twelfth centuries B C, ended blind, and traveled city to city to entertain with Trojan War and Ulysses tales. His Iliad and Odyssey remain timeless.

He later returns to reclaim Penelope’s home, disguises as a beggar, and with his son kills the suitors to restore order. The tale ends with reunion and vengeance.
