The authoress of the Odyssey

The Authoress of the Odyssey is the 1897 work by the author Samuel Butler. Samuel Butler developed a theory that the Odyssey came from the pen of a young Sicilian woman, and that the scenes of the poem reflected the coast of Sicily and its nearby islands. In this book, Butler describes this evidence for this theory in depth. Odin's Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind's literature from throughout the ages.
