'It's rich and beautiful and strange' Rory Stewart, The Rest Is Politics'This is such a brilliantly told story of Homer-obsessives through the ages that, by the end, you're as hooked on Homer as they were' Frank Skinner'Every page is an illuminating joy' A. N. Wilson 'An endlessly generous book' Daisy HayThis is the story of how two ancient epics captured the world's imagination. 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. A dazzlingly original and deeply personal testament to the power of poetry, Homer-Haunted is an epic account of how our oldest stories have shaped the way we read, write, and think.
