       | If you consider Socrates or Jesus, at least there are primary
       | sources: writings by people who knew him or knew someone who knew
       | him (I don't want to get into it with anyone about "the
       | historical Jesus." The point is that at least there's _something_
       | relatively contemporary.)

       | AFAIK there are exactly zero primary sources about Homer.
