Answer:
- their oral nature(pre-written word)
- there is no completely accurate record of who Homer(or any epic author) really was
- the numerous storytellers who regaled audiences with the stories
Explanation:
An epic is a story told or narrated in a big way consisting of heroes, armies, gods, demi-gods and the forces of nature that are located over sweeping landscapes. An epic usually tells of the heroe' s journey and achievements and failures or woes on the journey.
Epics are oral tales or poems that were narrated orally through traditional methods which were handed down from one generation to the other before they started writing them down. Most epics are mytholical histories that talk about great figures from history and historical events. An example of a historical epic is the "Trojan War".
Oral epic traditions are passed down from one generation to another. As epics are passed on the language and story is refined or fine tuned to suit each generation.
The authors of epic poems like Homer who wrote "Illiad" and "Odyssey" have conflicting records and information of their lives and times. The accuracy of who they really were is often conflicting.

Answer:
He is a stone mason.
Explanation:
In the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado," the main character Montresor is a mason because he uses bricks and mortar to wall up his enemy alive. Montresor's victim, Fortunato, is a Mason because he identifies himself by gesture and word as member of the Brotherhood of Freemasons:
"He. . .threw the bottle upward with a gesticulation I did not understand.
I looked at him in surprise. He repeated the movement -- a grotesque one.
"You do not comprehend?" he said.
"Not I," I replied.
"Then you are not of the brotherhood."
Montresor, then, pulls out a bricklayer's trowel from under his cloak as proof that he is in fact a "mason." 
Have a lovely rest of your day! :)
