Homeride
a race of rhapsodists or singers, with regard to whom there are three theories: (1) That they were the descendants of Homer. (2) That they were poets of an early epoch, but of a regular school, whose works, ks, collected and arranged in a complete form, were attributed to Homer. (3) That they were a race of wandering minstrels, who, coming after Homer, imitated him, added to, and interpolated his works.
