A further point. There is NO relationship between a person's intelligence and her abaislity either to read or to write. Moreover, there is NO relationshp between a person's mastery of language (speaking and listening) and that person's ability to write. In principle, the author of the Iliad might have been someone who could not have passed a freshman comp class -- that is, it is in princip;e possible for someone to be the greatest poet or philosopher in a given language but be unable to write a literate paper.
