False. In Leeming's book, "The World of Myth: An Anthology" 3rd edition, the statement that there are no identifiable authors of early world mythology overall is incorrect. Many early mythologies do have identifiable authors, such as the ancient Mesopotamian myths recorded by the Sumerians and Akkadians. Additionally, the statement that the first identifiable authors of mythology are Homer and Hesiod is also incorrect. While they are important ancient Greek poets who wrote on mythology, there are other earlier examples of identifiable authors in mythological texts.
