But, as Aristotle pointed out, \"his greatness was that he himself was nowhere to be found in his story. His characters were everywhere.\" Blind and possibly illiterate, Homer has still \"in loftiness of thought surpass'd\"* any storyteller since 900 B.C.E. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e *John Dryden\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDeborah Steiner\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Greek at Columbia University.
