Sounds like whomever is correct. It's just Gae doesn't type neatly and is a mess with his words.
Whomever it was ... Since whomever here is object of was
The structure he was trying to use was something like "Homer, whoever he was, was _________." That doesn't take "whom."

It's not an object in this case. It would be different in a sentence like, "Homer's ideas, whomever he learned them from, were already ancient."
