Hmmm... Bramhodoulos Send a noteboard - 24/04/2010 09:10:41 AM
I've been reading fantasy of-and-on for about 10 years now, but many times I'm too busy with reading other things for my study

I am reading Homer (in translation) nowadays, but very, very slowly, so I may have included him

As for the "first one". You may call it (or most of it) fiction, but not fantasy (btw, only less than a quarter is historical narrative in the normal sence of the word anyway )
