Question

did homer come first or olympic games?

Answer 1

Homer, the ancient Greek poet traditionally attributed with composing the epic poems the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," is believed to have lived in the 8th century BCE. The first recorded Olympic Games took place in 776 BCE. Therefore, Homer's works precede the Olympic Games, as they were composed before the first Games were held. However, it's worth noting that the culture and traditions that led to the establishment of the Olympics were already developing during the time Homer was active.
