Description
Omeros is the Greek name for Homer and though Derek Walcott's protagonists, Achille and Philoctete, are simple fishermen, they and their tribulations take on the specific gravity and resonance of their mythic Greek namesakes. Walcott's magnificent poem charts both the visible history of events and the interior, unwritten epic fashioned from the suffering of the individual in exile.
