Scholar Andrew Dalby delves into the world that first heard the
Odyssey and the Iliad, asking new questions about the poet named
Homer. Rediscovering Homer follows the growth of the legend of Troy
from a kernel of historical truth into an unforgettable story that
a succession of singers re-created for generations of audiences.
Dalby asks why and how the two great epics crossed the frontier
from song to writing while finding new approaches to the
personality of Homer and showing how the earliest evidence has been
misread. He makes a powerful case that both poems are the work of a
single poet, but it is his conclusion that will surprise even
serious classical scholars: Homer was most likely a woman.
