In Homer's Daughter Robert Graves recreates the Odyssey. 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 Nausicaa. In Robert Graves's words,
Homer's Daughter 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.'
