Hard disagree, PoMo. The work stands alone. "No man is a hero to his valet" is the truism that springs to mind. Reducing everything to the times & the man is just a way to bring it all down to our own pedestrian level so we can feel equal. The goal of every great artist is to transcend their humanity.
We know nothing about Homer, or even if there was such a person, but The Iliad and The Odyssey have been read for 3,000 years.
