The Return of Pytheas is a study of poetry and poems through and across two language traditions - Greek and English. While the main focus is recent and contemporary, exchanges reach back as far as Aeschylus and the Iliad. The book thus investigates Christopher Logue and Homer, as well as Greek influences on contemporary English poets.
