«La filla d'Homer» is a historical novel by Robert Graves, published by Edhasa in paperback (288 pages).
Building on Samuel Butler's thesis, the novel argues that the Odyssey was not composed by the traditional Homer but by a woman. Graves brings this hypothetical author to life as Nausicaa, a cultured and determined young Sicilian woman who, amid family intrigues and threats to her father, ends up weaving the great epic tale.
It originally appeared as «Homer's Daughter» (1955). The present edition was published in 1988.
Recommended for readers interested in Greek mythology, the classics, and historical revisions of great narratives.
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.
