Abstract
HOMER ISSUE: PERFORMERS, TRANSFERERS OR TALLERS OF THE EPICS ONLY AS AN IMAGE
For a long time, Homer and his epics, İlyada and Odysseia, were at the center of his research on verbal and written culture. These researches have been able to hide or transfer the texts of the voluminous oral epic of Smyrna Homer and the image of Smyrna, which is believed to be a known carrier of the wise knowledge of Gentiles, "If it was written by transmitters, can a Homer or many Homers be mentioned?" “Does memory have a Divine design capable of transmitting voluminous texts?”, “Does Homer really exist or did he live?” etc. It is about solving a few major problems. Considering that epics are created as a result of a transfer, "how this is accomplished" is a problematic that needs to be solved. In the study, these problems are the Iliad and Odysseia epics, which were created in Anatolia and later moved to Athens and updated by the performers and printers, the Kalevala epic, which had a profound effect on the understanding of the Finnish nation's culture, language, history, art and nationalism, was common in Turkish cultural ecology. It was explored on an exemplary version of the Köroğlu epic, which is narrative and created dozens of branches in a wide geography; It is aimed to reach some conclusions about this problematic including transfer attitudes, places and forms.
