Summary
Robert Graves: Homer's Daughter
This is the story of the courageous and spiritual Sicilian princess Nausicaa who, around 750 BC, prevented the usurpation of her father's throne, escaped an unwanted marriage, protected her brothers from almost imminent death, all because she bravely decided to do something instead of staying silent and hoping for the best.
Nausicaa's steadfastness in many famous artists have described with their works, directly or indirectly: from Goethe, Joyce, all the way to the Japanese master of animated film Miyazaki. Robert Graves wrote Homer's Daughter inspired by Samuel Butler's claim that the scene of the meeting between Odysseus and Nausicaa in the Odyssey is so realistic that its authorship must be attributed to a woman. As in most of his historical novels, Graves assigns a crucial role to a female character and thus rearranges the established understanding of mythology, history, and literature.
Robert Graves (1895-1985) is one of the most respected and influential English poets of the 20th century, and as a novelist he achieved great success by popularizing historical themes in a completely non-trivial way, giving the characters of his novels contemporary liveliness and plasticity. The translation of 'Homer's Daughter' is part of Sandorf's project of publishing the Selected Works of Robert Graves - updating quality genre prose of high literary value by the great English stylist.
