Homer is best known as the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. He was believed by the ancient Greeks to have been the first and greatest of the epic poets. Author of the first known literature of Europe, he is central to the Western canon.
When he lived, as well as whether he lived at all, is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived no more than 400 years before his own time, which would place him at around 850 BCE or later. Pseudo-Herodotus estimates that he was born 622 years before Xerxes I placed a pontoon bridge over the Hellespont in 480 BCE, which would place him at 1102 BCE, 168 years after the fall of Troy in 1270 BCE. These two end points are 252 years apart, representative of the differences in dates given by the other sources.

We had been careful not to mar the freshness of the place although we often swam to it on summer evenings and lay on the sand to rest.</span>

The unctuous homemade ointment had an unpleasant texture and smell, but it worked wonders.
Unctuous was originally used to describe the beneficial act of healing, but today word typically has a negative meaning. The word is derived from the Latin verb unguere, which means "to anoint," and from which the words unguent, which means "a soothing or curative salve," and ointment also derive.
Unctuous may have been used to describe objects distinguished by an unnatural gloss of sentimentality because of the oily quality of ointments. Unctuous people may have the best of intentions, but their fake sincerity can leave a bad taste in other people's mouths, much like some ointments.
