Homeros grav på Ios
Man tror att Homeros levde någon gång på talet f Kr, dock det finns inga egentliga bevis för att han överhuvudtaget besitter funnits. Existerat eller ej så kallas han den västerländska litteraturens fader, samt han antas ha skrivit Odyssén samt Iliaden, två av västvärldens mest kända litterära verk. Du besitter säkert böckerna i bokhyllan hemma. Ofta står dem och samlar damm. dem är skrivna på en 6-taktigt versmått som heter hexameter, samt är - tycker jag - väldigt svårläst.
En mer lättläst samt väldigt intressant bok är Odysseus pojke () från Annika Thor. Den handlar om Telemakos, Odysseus son, och han har ej många jämnåriga vänner på Ithaka. maximalt är denne hemma inom palatset, tillsammans med sin mor Penelope samt barnsköterskan Eurykleia, och väntar på för att Odysseus bör komma bostad från kriget i Troja.

Ios Homer Tomb
Location: Plakoto
The tomb of Homer in Ios was supposedly discovered by Pasch Van Krienen who was a government representative during the Russian Naval Brigade.
Legend has it that it was on the island of Ios where Homer took his last breath and now he lies buried in his grave at Plakoto, at the northernmost part of the island on a hill. The evidence suggesting that the body of the great epic poet is resting underneath this place is not unassailable, though.

Homer was among the greatest poets in ancient Greek history. He is world-famous thanks to his epic poems, including the Odyssey and the Iliad.
He supposedly died somewhere between BC and BC. Some say that his mother, Clymene, was from Ios and that is why he chose to spend his last days there. Some say he died succumbing to a sickness that developed after he had a fall, others that he was unable to solve a riddle posed to him by the locals and died from distress.
The islanders had little evidence to prove that Homer was truly buried there until a 17th-century archaeologist found some graves in the same r

Homer&#;s Tomb
Homer&#;s Tomb is located in the northern part of Ios Island, near the beach of Plakotos. The great Greek poet Homer is said to have died on the island, and Homer&#;s Tomb is now one of the most famous tourist attractions in Ios Greece. There are several stories &#; one that Homer&#;s mother Klymeni was from Ios, another that he died of ill health on Ios, and the third is that the locals had to kill him as he couldn&#;t solve a puzzle.
The tomb itself is about a metre walk at the top of the hill. There is a small square structure built of stone and marble, about 1 metre high. There is a marble plaque which reads &#;HERE THE EARTH COVERS THE SACRED HEAD OF MEN AND HEROES HOMER THE DIVINE POET&#;.
The tomb is accessible by car or scooter, and there are spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and nearby islands from the site too.
There is also a statue of Homer in the port of Ios Greece, at the bottom of the donkey steps.
