Read the passage and answer the following three questions. Nobody knows when fiction started. Perhaps, the first storyteller was a prehistoric mother trying to explain the world to her children. Or maybe it was a hunter telling about his adventures around the campfire. Who can tell? What we do know, though, is that story-telling was a purely oral activity around 800 BC. Myths and tales were passed down by word of mouth and had to be memorized by each new generation of storytellers. This oral tradition's only example is Homer, a blind professional storyteller, who lived in the 8th century BC. The contextual meaning of fiction is:
