we are gonnar to start discussing a West Europe poem with the Iliad and the Odyssey.
These two great poems stand out as great examples of the earliest European poems. They are believed to have been written sometime between 800 BC and 700 BC,
partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time,
conditions that have been validated by the findings of archeologists But just who was the poets who laid down these cornerstones of western literature? Well tradition ascribles them to a man named Homer. But we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact some say that such a poet never existed at all, that
neither the Iliad nor the Odyssey was written by a single poet but rather each poem is composed of the writings of several people. This anyway is the view of school of literacy critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literacy devices used in the poem to argue that each work was as in fact a collection of several poems by several
Greek authors. Opposing the analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. They insisted that the Iliad and the Odyssey
could
have been the work of single poetic genius. To support their argument, they stress among other things the consistency
of the character protrayed in the poetry. "This wouldn’t’ve been possible", they said," if they were written by many different poets." Now how we look at the Homeric question today has been greatly influenced by someone named Milman Parry, an American scholar who first presented his ideas about Homer in the 1930s. So let's take a look at Parry's research and how effects what modern day scholars think about Homer.

One type of nature spring geographer is interested in is
artesian spring. Hiking through the wood some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I'd like to explain two basic conditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water must be contained in an aquifer.
An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores and holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground.
Rain water enter this through exposed end and travelled downward to the lower portion to the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layers of pores or clay. Either called aquicludes(含水土层) and they block or hinder of flow of water. Aquicludes(含水土层) prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So let's go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above ground near the lower and inclined aquifer. An artesian springs are those places with some holes crack stand from the ground surface down through the
Aquicludes
and into the aquifer.
Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer from the exposed opraind created the ablity of pressure at the lower end. So if there is a crack in the rock, a crack that runs from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it and water tri
