The Homeric Question [1] generally centers on whether the
Iliad and the
Odyssey were written by primarily one person (Unitarian) or by different people (Analytic). Butler has another theory, that the
Odyssey was written by one person, a woman in Sicily, which he published in the
The Authoress of the Odyssey [2]. Basically, Butler was describing the
Odyssey as fan fiction, as a
Mary Sue [3].
