The Authoress Of The Odyssey: Where and When She Wrote, Who She Was, The Use She Made of The Illiad:

* * * * *

In "The Authoress of the Odyssey" Butler advocated two theories: one that the Odyssey was the work of a woman, the other that it was written at Trapani, in Sicily. That his conclusions were not accepted by scholars is not surprising, but his arguments have never been refuted. Their improbability is nothing to the point, and their impossibility has yet to be demonstrated. That the weight of academic authority is against Butler counts for nothing to anyone who knows the history of Homeric criticism.
