No, I think that "Homer" is a semi-legendary figure to whom the Iliad and Odyssey are attributed by legend and convention. I think the consensus is that the works as we know them now were collated from bits and pieces composed at different times from multiple sources - and whoever (individual or group effort) collated them is now lost to history.

Then maybe it was written by AI: Attican Individuals.

"I think that "Homer" is a semi-legendary figure to whom the Iliad and Odyssey are attributed by legend and convention." Similarly, and perhaps more ironically, Aesop himself, may have just been a fable.
