"As I've pointed out before: the Greek poet Homer was blind from birth and therefore illiterate (i.e., he couldn't read or write). Yet, he wrote both the Illiad and the Odyssey, two of the greatest works of literature in the history of the world.
Do you believe this implies that the Illiad and the Odyssey are from Allah (swt)? "
First, illiterate is not the one who can`nt read or write because he is blind ,this one can use his ears and his tongue to read and write with the help of the others.The
illiterate is this person who has the ability to read and write but he did`nt know.
Secondly,being Muhammed (pbuh)illiterate is a prove that he did`nt write the Quran by himself.The content of the Quran is the prove that the Quran is from Allah and no one can write,some try to write like Mosaelama alkazzab but where is this trial now.Look to the Illiad and Odyssey,yes it is two of the greatest works of literature in the history of the world,but there are many works like these works or may be greatest.
