Answer 1

Hi. Your question is incomplete and this makes it difficult for me to answer it. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours. This question asked you to show which two central ideas of "Homer. The Poet for All Ages" support popular belief about Homer. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.

The central ideas that show popular beliefs about Homer, presented in the text, can be seen in the two excerpts below:

• "One legend says that long ago in Greece, a blind poet, Homer, wandered from city to city and earned his living by reciting poems."  
• "Some people believe that such a poet really lived, and that he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey himself and recited them in the cities where he stayed."

"Homer. The Poet for All Ages" introduces the poet Homer and his incredible ability to compose stories and poems in a millennium epoch. Homer is highly recognized and admired even today, but his life is a mystery, many people believe he didn't even exist, but many people believe not only that he was real, but that he was the author of "Iliad " and "Odyssey." This belief is strengthened through the legend that there was a Greek poet, who although blind, had a great ability to compose stories and made a living telling these stories and reciting poems.
