Homer's Daughter is a 1955 novel by Robert Graves, famous for I, Claudius and The White Goddess.
It starts from the idea that Homer's Odyssey was written by a princess in the Greek settlements in Sicily. The novel makes an entirely speculative reconstruction of who she was and why she wrote such a work. It has her modifying the legends that existed in her own time to partly match a crisis in her own life.
It is not as famous as the Claudius novels, but has its admirers.
