Robert Graves' 'Ulysses'
from The Poetry Voice Hosted by Liam Guilar
Robert Graves (1895-1985) There’s almost a sub genre of poems in English about Ulysses. They would make a fascinating anthology. and I’m steadily adding them to The Poetry Voice index. But in these poems Ulysses is usually heroic or admirable. Most often he’s someone to sympathise with. This poem is unsual in the way it treats its hero. Graves fancied himself as a classicist. He also had an independent and often idiosyncratic view of the world.
