Homerids

historical clan

Latin Homeridae, Greek Homerìdai

a historical clan on the Aegean island of Chios, whose members claimed to be descendants of the ancient Greek poet Homer. They claimed to have brought the Iliad and Odyssey attributed to him from Ionia to the Greek mainland, as early as the 6th century BC. They may have preserved texts of poems ascribed to Homer. Originally, they were rhapsodists, singer-reciters of Homeric epics. Authorship of a few Homeric Hymns, preludes, and mythical tales of the gods has been attributed to them. From the 4th century BC onward, the Greek word Homerìdai became also a common noun used to designate rhapsodists and Homeric scholars in general.
