That Homer did not write the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e continues to be a bold historical and literary claim. Add to it Graves's protofeminist heroine, and a radical modern classic is born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his Historical Note, Graves says the novel \"re-creates, from internal and external evidence, the circumstances which induced Nausicaa to write the \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, and suggest how, as an honorary Daughter of Homer, she managed to get it included in the official canon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Here is the story of a high-spirited and religious-minded Sicilian girl who saves her father's throne from usurpation, herself from a distasteful marriage, and her two younger brothers from butchery by boldly making things happen, instead of sitting still and hoping for the best.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeven Stories' Robert Graves Project spans 14 titles, and includes fiction and nonfiction, adult, young adult and children's books, in a striking new uniform design, with new introductions and afterwords.
