| Summary: | "The siege of Troy and Odysseus' long voyage home have inspired many of our most thrilling and radical poets. Henry Power takes us on a surprising journey through the afterlives of these mysterious epics, and the search for the poet who created them. Guiding us through the twists and turns of the Iliad and the Odyssey, Power travels to the places where Homer's stories have taken root - from the islands of Greece to the Scottish Highlands, the Devon coast to suburban Los Angeles - to trace the footsteps of the poets, politicians, lunatics, and lovers haunted by Homer's mythical heroes and monsters." |
