  • Homer is regarded as a paradigmatic Western poet. As early as the Ming and the Qing dynasties, his name and most famous epic poem, The Illiad, were introduced into China by Christian missionaries and Japanese scholars. Late imperial Chinese writings in several genres refer to Homer and his works often. But unlike in the West, where Homer would come to be known as the foremost poet of antiquity, late Qing authors, eager to learn more about the world outside China, regarded Homer as Greece’s first historian. Reading his works in the contexts of Greek history and world history, they esteemed The Iliad as a record of an important battle, not chiefly as a literary work celebrating mythical Olympian gods.
