Homer's Daughter is a novel by author Robert Graves, published in 1996. The story narrates the life of Nausicaa, a Sicilian princess who lived seven centuries before Christ. The plot follows how Nausicaa saves her father's throne from usurpers, rescues her brothers from a violent death, and frees herself from an unwanted marriage with the help of a Cretan nobleman. Graves analyzes Samuel Butler's theory, who attributes the authorship of the Odyssey to a Sicilian princess who portrayed herself as Nausicaa.
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.
