Ill as a child and left 4 feet 6 inches tall, with curvature of the spine, Alexander Pope was a victim of continued headaches. He became a famous poet and satirist, most famous known for his poem The Rape of the Lock, as well as his translation of Homer’s Illiad between 1715 and 1720 receiving then famous praise from Samuel Johnson. Pope also translated the Odyssey in 1726, lending to controversy over his only partial efforts of the work.
