Homer’s Daughters

Carolyn MacDonald, University of New Brunswick, reviews Homer’s daughters: women’s responses to Homer in the twentieth century and beyond, by Fiona Cox and Elena Theodorakopoulos, at the Bryn Mawr Classical Review.

"To sum up: Homer’s Daughters initiates an important and long overdue conversation about women’s receptions of Homer, and readers interested in specific authors will find much of value in individual chapters. The volume also leaves much to be said, and one hopes it will inspire others to undertake more theoretically engaged and inclusive explorations of women’s responses to the epics and their afterlives."

See Homer in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 4, and (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 3.
