The Authoress of the Odyssey is a book written by Samuel Butler that explores the origins and authorship of the ancient Greek epic poem, The Odyssey. The book delves into the question of who wrote the poem, when it was written, and how it was created. Butler also investigates the relationship between The Odyssey and its predecessor, The Iliad, and how the former may have been influenced by the latter. Throughout the book, Butler presents various theories and evidence to support his claims, drawing on literary analysis, historical research, and his own interpretation of the text. Ultimately, The Authoress of the Odyssey offers a fascinating and thought-provoking look at one of the most enduring works of Western literature.An Early Attempt To Prove That A Woman Wrote The Odyssey.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
