Homer was an ancient Greek king.  

Explanation:

Homer was an epic poet of Ancient Greece, traditionally attributed to the authorship of the epic poems Iliad and Odyssey.

The ancient Greeks generally believed that Homer was a historical individual, but modern scholars are skeptical: no reliable biographical information was conveyed from classical antiquity, and the poems themselves manifestly represent the culmination of many centuries of history told orally and a well developed system often used poetic composition. According to Martin West, "Homer" is not "the name of a historical poet, but a fictitious or constructed name". For the historian and philosopher Richard Tarnas, Homer - regardless of the controversy over his historical existence - was "a collective embodiment of all ancient Greek memory."

Because of doubts about the existence or not of Homer, many theories about him arose. The most famous theories are he was the biblical author Solomon, was a woman named Nausicaa, was a blind man and was an illiterate poet.
