Homer's Daughter
Synopsis
In <i>Homer's Daughter</i> Robert Graves recreates the <i>Odyssey</i>. This bold retelling of the ancient epic imagines that its author was not the blind and bearded Homer of legend, but a young woman in Western Sicily who calls herself Nausica�. In Robert Graves's words, <i>Homer's Daughter</i> is 'the story of a high-spirited and religious-minded Sicilian girl who saves her father's throne from usurpation, herself from a distasteful marriage, and her two younger brothers from butchery by boldly making things happen, instead of sitting still and hoping for the best.'
