In this paper, we provide more evidence that Homer, author of the Iliad and Odyssey was a daughter of Judah- a princess. The Iliad is about a battle in Troy (actually Jerusalem) between two kings over Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world. Nidia is that beautiful woman. The mina character in the Iliad is Achilles who battles and slays Hector. Hector is the Trojan (Jewish) Prince while Achilles is the Greek (actually Assyrian) King. They are fighting over Helen (Niqia). Niqia describes Achilles as swift footed. This evokes Hermes (Roman god Mercury) who had wings on his sandals. Hermes was said to be the god who invented writing. “The first half of the eighth century was the time ion which writing was coming into use all over the Greek world.” Hermes was said to have invented writing. Her/mes was actually Niqia, the polymath. “There had been one sceptic in the ancient world who thought differently. He was not a Greek, but a Jew, Josephus ben Matthias [1]. Josephus was born into one of Jeruslaems elite families. He is the second born son of Matthias, a Jewish priest…..[Josephus’] mother was a woman who was descended from the royal family ruling Hasmonaean Dynasty Wikipedia

If you think about it, how would homer have known the names and characters of both sides of the conflict. The truth is he didn’t. Niqia, the Jewish princess oof the tribe of Judah, was captured by the Assyrians and she was a “Trojan” She came to know the Assyrians in captivity and of course she was a “Trojan” of “Troy“ Jerusalem. She wrote the story of the Trojan Wars as the main character Helen the most beautiful woman who wins in the end, Interesting that her main character was Achilles who were also female gladiators (Achillea). Niqia was a strong woman and a polymath. “The most likely date for the composition of the Illiad is the fifty years running from 725 to 675 BC; for the Odessy somewhat later in the period [1]. If Niqia was 20 in 722 BC, the time of the siege of Jerusalem by the Assyrians, then she would have d c 70 years old at 652 BC. This puts her in the range of when she wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. Homer was thought to have come from an island off the coast of Naples, Italy. We know there were Jews in the Kingdom of Naples who were expelled in 1533. The Adoleccenti were descendants of the Jews of Judaea, Niqia’s royal tribe.

Home was a Jewish Princes who wrote the Iliad about her prince Hector being slayed by Achilles. She also writes the Odyssey. She may have gone from Assyria to Naples in an arduous journey but that is speculation.
