It is accepted among Classics scholars that there was no "one" Homer but a long tradition of oral poets passing on the epics we know as the Iliad and Odyssey. Canamus!

They implored the Muses to speak to them. Perhaps they thought of themselves as "keepers" of their stories, but those stories were bigger than they were. And, of course, there's the theory that "Homer" is actually an amalgamation of many poets' versions of the same stories. "Autism vox" doesn't imply--to me--that it is *the* voice. It is "an autism voice," and the world needs more of those.(Gotta love Latin's absence of articles). Autismum cano.

“Autism vox” doesn’t imply–to me–that it is *the* voice. It is “an autism voice,” and the world needs more of those.(Gotta love Latin’s absence of articles).

Autismum cano.
