Summary

Selected poems by H. D. (Hilda Doolittle), Margaret Atwood, Louise Glück, and Jorie Graham are discussed as examples of Homeric reception by modern women poets, who give voice to some of Homer’s female characters ‒ Helen, Circe, Penelope ‒ in exploration or implicit critique of traditional gender roles but also in affirmation of the artistic authority of the woman poet.
