“It’s a shame that most of Homer’s works were probably lost when the religion of peace burned down the Library of Alexandria and murdered its librarian.”
That library burned down long before Muhammed was born.
Oh. I guess I’ve been mistaken all this time. Damn. Well then, nevermind.
The Library of Alexandria was actually partly burned several times. Usually by accident. However it was rebuilt and refurnished with books until the last time when it was burned by the Caliph of Baghdad.
