The Authoress of the Odyssey

Exploring the authorship of the "Odyssey," this work presents a compelling argument that a woman, rather than Homer, composed the epic. Samuel Butler delves into historical and literary analysis, examining the narrative style and themes that suggest a female perspective. He challenges traditional views, offering insights into the role of women in ancient Greece and the significance of their contributions to literature. Butler's thought-provoking examination invites readers to reconsider established notions of authorship and gender in classical texts.
