“奋斗，探索，寻求，而不屈服。”

——阿尔弗雷德·邓尼生，《尤利西斯》，1942

荷马是欧洲和世界文化之父，其两部伟大史诗——《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》——是文学之基石、艺术与文化之永恒灵感。伟大的盲歌者赠予我们普遍性之遗产，建起那不为时光摧毁的纪念碑。这位伟大创造者带着熊熊火焰力量的视域点燃从古至今的想象力。因之，在2015年9月的布鲁塞尔，意欲继承这一伟大遗产的世界艺术家们应召创设欧洲诗歌暨文艺荷马奖章。奖章评委会成员们来自美国、比利时、德国、波兰、意大利、法国、保加利亚、巴西、秘鲁和中国等地。

欧洲诗歌暨文艺荷马奖章将授予那些在当今世界之文学和视觉艺术领域中的卓越创造者。评委会将褒奖作品富简洁与美、具普世理念、回应恒久范式的艺术家们，艺术技巧的高度和广泛传递的力量是其最重要的品质，奖章获得者们将因此而丰富他们的精神之父荷马的万神殿。

 “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

—Alfred Tennyson, Ulysses. 1942

Homer is the father of European and world culture, and his two great epics—the Iliad and the Odyssey— are the foundation of literature, the eternal inspiration for art and culture. The blind singer left a message of universality and built monuments, which are not dashed by centuries. Visions of this great creator had the power of flames and ignited the imagination from antiquity to the present. Thus, a great heritage group of worldwide artists was called into existence, September 2015, in Brussels, to inaugurate the European Medal of Poetry and Art. Medal recipients were artists from USA, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Brazil, Peru, China, etc..

The European Medal of Poetry and Art, HOMER, will be awarded to outstanding creators in the world of literature and the visual arts. A jury will award the artists, whose works will be, with simplicity and beauty, universal messages to the world, reflecting the ancient patterns. The most important category is the level of artistry and the power of transmission, so that subsequent winners may enrich the pantheon of their spiritual father, Homer.
