Dive into 'Homer's Daughter' by Robert Graves, a historical novel that narrates the life of Nausicaa, a Sicilian princess who lived in the 7th century BC. The story follows how Nausicaa saves her father's throne from usurpers, protects her brothers, and avoids an unwanted marriage with the help of a Cretan nobleman. Graves explores Samuel Butler's theory about the female authorship of the 'Odyssey', attributing it to a Sicilian princess who portrayed herself as Nausicaa. This pocket edition from Edhasa offers an epic and domestic perspective of the Odyssey.
Robert Ranke Graves, whose second name is sometimes given as von Ranke, was an English poet, novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology.
