Homer

Homer was known as a great scholar, poet, and author. However, many people argue that the Greek poet was not the original author of The Iliad and The Odyssey. Homer was simply the first to write down the stories, giving himself credit for the work. There are many theories that suggest Homer was actually a woman who was blind. Others believe that Homer was a group of Greek scholars rather than one single person.

Jesus

The answer to whether or not Jesus truly existed is different depending on who you ask. Many historians believe that the man responsible for the largest religion in the world was a real person, while others argue that the man was simply folklore. Some reasons for attempting to discredit Jesus include a lack of eyewitness accounts, the vague writings of the New Testament, and the lack of secular evidence. However, Jesus teaches us to live by faith and faith is the substance of the things we cannot see.
