Answer:

The scholars at Alexandria treated him as a single poet who wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey.

We know that someone—individually or collectively—wrote The Odyssey.

A good deal of controversy surrounds the poet's identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homer is the author of the two great epic poems "Illiad" and the "Odyssey". The two epics are the great works belonging to the ancient literature of Greece. The Greek poet Homer's identity remains a mystery for the world. Very less is known about him and his life. It is the belief of some of the scholars that the epics have been written by one man, the others believe that it is the work of a group.
