# Homer

🏷 Samson Semitic hidden ruler pun · name — by Gerry · Aug 2020 · 252 words

The name of the poet Homer, whose name & life are an enigma, is likely a pun with a Semitic word for “veil”. It is found in Arabic as ḫmr for “veiling” & “concealing”, and in Hebrew & Aramaic as ḥmr / kmr for “piling” & “covering”.

- One clue to detecting this pun is the poet Homer’s modern namesake Homer Simpson, invented by Hollywood spooks.
- Simpson is a variant of Samson, and Samson is also a pun with “veil”. Homer Simpson is thus a doubly-veiled pun.
- The word Homer itself also occurs in Samson’s story: as the famous donkey’s jawbone, because the donkey also puns with “veil”.
- Finding Semitic puns in the names of famous Greek poets is more evidence for the Phoenician roots of all later empires.
