  Edom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The nation of Edom is known to have existed back to the 8th or 9th Century BCE, and the Bible dates it back several centuries further.
Nothing further is recorded of the Edomites in the Tanakh until their defeat by King Saul of Israel in the late 1000's BCE.
Recently, however, excavations such as the 2004-2004 UCSD dig at Khirbat an-Nahas in Jordan have shed new light on the history of Edom, unearthing artifacts and evidence of settled state society as early as the tenth century BCE,1 2), although whether and to what extent these sites reflect Edomite statehood is debated.

BCE) was a legendary Greek poet credited with authorship of the Iliad (720 BCE) and Odyssey (680 BCE), the comic mini-epic Batrachomyomachia, and various other lost or fragmentary works.
There is considerable scholarly debate about whether or not Homer was actually a real person, or the name given to one or more oral poets who sang traditional epic material.
