“Sing, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy. Many were the men whose cities he saw and whose mind he learned, aye, and many the woes he suffered in his heart upon the sea, seeking to win his own life and the return of his comrades.”
- Homer, The Odyssey

Calliope (also spelt Kalliope) is the Muse of epic poetry and heroic song in Greek mythology. She is considered the leader of the Muses and the most honoured of them all. She is often represented in art with a tablet on her knee and a stylus in her hand.

Looking for more narrative poems and prose either inspired by or creatively adapting epic literature, like Alice Oswald's Memorial, Anne Carson's Autobiography of Red, Maria Dahvana Headley's Beowulf translation and Derek Walcott's Omeros
Any suggestions?
