In exploring the significance of Homer for the poetry of modern Greece Dr Ricks is tackling a theme that has implications for the study of poetic influence in general. In this 1989 book he takes the work of Sikelianos, Cavafy and Seferis and subjects a selection of poems that deal with specifically Homeric themes to a careful scrutiny.
