<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">author of the iliad</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for homer that I've seen before include "Greek poet, c. 800 BC" , "The classical poet" , "writer of old" , "Epic poet - score at baseball - kind of pigeon" , "Pigeon; classic writer" .)
