More about the book
Focusing on the character Nausicaa from the Odyssey, this novel posits her as the true author of the epic, challenging traditional views of Homer. Graves presents Nausicaa as a protofeminist heroine who takes decisive action to protect her family and secure her future, defying societal expectations. The narrative explores the circumstances that inspired her to write the Odyssey and how she gained recognition as an honorary Daughter of Homer. This reimagining positions her as a strong, proactive figure in a male-dominated world.
