How could it be anyone but Homer?
If anyone has an adequate retort, I'd love to hear it.
Other than God? Whoever drafted the Peace of Westphalia imo.
Even heathen countries still abide by it.
Whoever invented the first writing system.
Homer, Cervantes, Petrarch, Wordsworth
The most influential twentieth-century novelists were Joyce and Hemingway.
Ovid may have built off of Homer, but I'd say he's a contender. Just look at what he did to Shakespeare alone.
Dr. Seuss
Moses (or God)
Richard Dawkins
Muhammad

Before "blah blah" just think about the quality of literature that came from Russia from multiple writers all around the same time. It's honestly astounding that writers like Gogol, Turgenev, Goncharov, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and Chekhov all came from the same place and essentially the same time or at least back to back of each other. They all have a similar writing style and they all wrote similar works dealing with the aristocracy and similar protagonists.
His portrayal of the superfluous man in Evgeny Onegin essentially gave birth to Russian literature as we know it today.
Aristotle
>most influential writer

And who is the most influential musician, a poet?
Patti Smith
the venerable Bede

Plays aren't written, they emerge, fully formed in binary and actors simply process the data on the stage.
Jim Morrison.

Why must Germans ruin everything?
Virgil. EASILY. Like, it's not even close. For almost 2000 years every single educated man in Europe was forced to read and translate him as the first part of a basic literary education.
