	Gloss in Omeros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From the moment of its appearance in 1990, Derek Walcott’s Omeros was recognized as a masterful setting of universal theme and motif in a Caribbean context.
		Though the orthography of the sample phrase in Row 4 is admittedly hypothetical, it corresponds to the system used throughout Omeros.
		Omeros was the crunch of dry leaves, and the washes that echoes from a cave-mouth when the tide has ebbed.

	Omeros : Berichte, Bewertungen, Informationen, Preise
		In word and thought, scale and ambition Omeros, is an epic poem, providing yet further testimony to the world status of its St Lucian author, Derek Walcott.
		Setting out to reimagine the lives and voices of the ordinary people of the Caribbean through Greek myth and epic, Walcott constructs a heightened, and richly nuanced, vernacular able to impart the resonant narrative voices of his tale told predominantly in terza rima.
		"Omeros" is stunning, elegantly written, subtle and outspoken at the same time.

	Omeros (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There are many exciting parts to the poem: the beauty of the language, the themes, that it was only on the second time reading Omeros that I realized it rhymed, such is the seeming effortlessness with which Walcott writes.
		This humble, almost unconscious master of metaphor is able to enter unerringly into the consciousness of things and to emerge from that dive with pearls, whose inner flower-flames he unfurls or explodes in liquid light for the benefit of all.
		To me, Omeros is really a collection of poems in a similar form spiralling around similar themes, taking up each others' melodies in different keys.

		Paradise Omeros cannot be found in regular theaters (currently clogged with useless sequels) but as part of an installation at the Bohen Foundation in Chelsea.
		As Omeros recalls his fancily dressed relatives partying to "The Tide Is High," Julien conveys an amazing sense of the boy’s innocent identification (with the men’s bonhomie, the women’s warmth, the sense of an immigrant world creating comfort within itself).
		Possibility and despair loom so large in Julien’s imagery that Omeros’ conflicted condition seems constant; it is the considerable unfurling of Julien’s familial anguish, a sumptuous confession of his personal politics.

		He investigates roles of hybridity, and individual efficacy in the development of cultural identity, but also emphasizes the lush and in a way that would make any self-respecting cultural anthropologist flush with academic indignation.This is of little consequence, since Julien's objectives are overtly cinematic and unapologetically subjective.
		The lush and saturated Paradise Omeros effectively redresses issues of racial, sexual and cultural identity, but with its cool blue hue, state of the art special effects and slightly cynical air of post-postmodern detachment, Baltimore pushes any lingering identity issues over the edge of absurdity and into a chasm filled with undiluted, self-deprecating satire.
		In Paradise Omeros especially, labels of "fl" and "white" are quietly rendered obsolete, not simply through the introduction of an overt, Creole gray zone, but through an artful, culturally nonspecific universal yen.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Omeros
		Omeros (1990) is the longest and most ambitious of Derek Walcott’s three book-length poems, appearing between Another Life (1973) and Tiepolo’s Hound (2000).
		The Omeros stanza, with the exception of one section (Book Four, Chapter XXXIII, iii) in tetrameter rhymed couplets, is the tercet of Dante’s Divine Comedy.
		The irony might be understood thus: in order to arrive at a Caribbean consciousness that does not live in the shadow of European myth, Walcott uses mythical scaffolding to raise the dignity and power of his St. Lucian characters, but then dismantles it to allow them to stand on their own.

	Omeros Summary & Essays - Derek Walcott
		This is not only because the author, who was born on the small Caribbean island of St. Lucia, went on to win the 1992 Nobel Prize for literature, but because his poem subtly undermines the very genre out of which it emerges.
		Since Walcott himself voices reservations about the "heroic" dimensions of Omeros it is understandable that critics who are guided by textbook definitions have been reluctant to grant epic status to the poem.
		On one hand, Walcott's characters are unassuming peasants who fight no monumental battles; his persona/narrator is allowed no Olympic trappings; and on the other hand, the requisite narrative flow is occasionally disrupted by the poem's lyrical exuberance.

		Omeros is a narrative poem about the sea and the people who live near its shores.
		Charles Lock who argues in Derek Walcott’s Omeros: Echoes from a White-Throated Vase” that “to depict the woman without representing her voice, is for the poet to exercise his descriptive powers, and to render the woman an object, whose silence is matched by her passivity”(9).
		Certainly, it is within the poet’s prerogative to choose the direction of the character’s life, but by setting her up as an ideal of womanhood, he traps and silences her.

		Herodotus also mentions another version of the abduction story (a version, however, of which he himself seems quite skeptical), according to which Helen did not really go to Troy but ended up in Egypt, where she spent some time at the court of King Proteus.

		The central Homeric characters of Omeros are Helen, and Achille and Hector, brothers of the fishing trade whose rivalry for Helen’s extraordinary beauty turns their friendship to murderous anger.
		From the fight over Helen, which is the manifest cause of the war, to the sparring between Agamemnon and Achilles over the possession of the mute captive Briseis, Homer shows women as trophies, objects of exchange and contention -- an extreme form of the dehumanization to which all are subject.
		In Omeros, Helen, like her Greek prototype, is the great enigma and driving force behind men’s acts of courage and desperation.

	Epic of the Dispossessed: Derek Walcott's Omeros, by Robert D. Hamner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Hamner describes Omeros as an epic of the dispossessed because each of its protagonists is a castaway in one sense or another.
		Regardless of whether their ancestry is traced to the classical Mediterranean, Europe, Africa, or confined to the Americas, they are transplanted individuals whose separate quests all center on the fundamental human need to strike roots in a place where one belongs.
		The fresh and original Omeros stands on its own merits; nevertheless, it deserves to be examined in light of both Western tradition and its Caribbean context.

		Omeros zeroes in on St Lucia’s northwest coast where, between the pounding Atlantic and the lapping sea, rise the two low humps of what colonists called the gros îlet (big little island).

	Derek Walcott , Omeros
		Dit was de schreeuw waar iedere odyssee om draait, die stille roep om een rif of een vertrouwde vogel, niet de oorlogskreet, niet de verwarde intriges van een visnet, maar als een golf rijmt op iemands dood, een doodkist op een boot, die parallel wordt overschreden, de scheiding tussen meester en slaaf gesloopt.
		Voor de Caraïbische poëzie viel de keuze op een fragment uit Omeros (1990), het belangrijkste werk van de uit St. Lucia afkomstige dichter Derek Walcott, winnaar van de Nobelprijs voor Literatuur in 1992.
		His epic 1990 poem Omeros, recognized as having won him the Nobel, blends classicism and colloquialism in a retelling of The Odyssey in the Caribbean.

		E un giorno - l'altro ieri - è arrivato Derek Walcott con il suo Omeros, dove, con sfrontata duttilità e profusione di immagini, è riuscito a cantare un arcipelago che è come un continente - e in delicato contrappunto con l'epos omerico.
		Omeros, aedo del tempo presente, racconta la storia di due pescatori, Ettore e Achille, innamorati della stessa donna, Elena, sensuale cameriera di un hotel di Santa Lucia, piccola isola sovrastata da due coni vulcanici, al centro del Mar dei Caraibi.
		E ogni personaggio, anche quelli di contorno, è come incastonato in un'aura luminosa, che scaturisce sia dalla felice irruenza del magma metaforico di Walcott, sia dal carisma di nomi, gesti e pensieri che riecheggiano, non senza venature ironiche, quelli dei corrispettivi eroi omerici.
