Answer:
In "The Hike", the reader can infer that the way the narrator depicts the character of Mr. Arseno is a fun easy-going guy. The text states in paragraph 8 "In all the years the Arsenos had been camping, he’d made it clear that the point of being there was to have fun. As Emily watched her father she was pretty sure he wasn’t having any fun." From this you can tell that Mr. Ardeno is not a competitive guy, he likes to have fun and go with the flow. The text also in paragraph 20 says "The Arseno children were tempted to gather snowballs and surprise the latecomers as they topped the ridge, but Emily’s dad made it clear with one look that he didn’t approve of such an idea. She knew, as her father knew, that the length of time it took them to get to the top was embarrassing enough for Mr. McGee without getting a face full of snow, too. " This shows that Mr. Arseno is not one to brag or to boost. This is important because it adds to the theme of the story and builds Mr. Arseno's character.

"The Illiad" was written by Homer in the 8th Century B.C.
Explanation:
The great epic poem "The Illiad" was written by the blind poet Homer. Most historians assumed and accepted the time of publication and composition to be around the 8th - 13th Century B.C.
The authorship of this epic poem narrating the Battle of Troy is debated by many. Some historians and critics claim that there is no one single man named Homer who could have composed all these tales, covering just a mere 51 days of the final days of the war. But it contains a background detailing of the story before the actual battle. The Greeks credited a blind poet named Homer to be the true writer. This Homer, according to them, was the most famous and credited him to be the basis of their Greek identity foundation. They also agreed on the fact that Homer had recited the whole poetry from memory.
The real period of publication and the authorship of this epic has been debated and tried to be rediscovered by many scholars and historians. But due to it's ancient and old nature of the story, there are really no hard proof of it. But, the general opinion is that Homer is the rightful author of this work and that it may probably have been written around the 8th century B.C. This is in consideration of the topic of the book which deals with the famous battle of Troy that happened during the 13th Century B.C, which made it probable for the epic to be written after that.
