Iliad Author, Selection & Connection Summaries Author Summary: Oral poetry was developed in Greece before writing was, so the poetry was either memorized or improvised depending on the poet/actor as long as they had the basic plot line it worked. When writing finally appeared, the poems were written down. Even though people consider Homer the greatest oral poet of his time, no one knows anything about him for sure.
