Odisea de Parténope

​​

Parthenope’s Odyssey gathers fifteen poems centred on Parthenope, one of the sirens of Greek mythology. Traditionally portrayed as figures of danger and temptation, sirens have long been confined to narratives shaped by fear, desire, and silence.

​

Starting from the position of the “other”, this book reimagines Parthenope as a speaking subject. The poems seek to reclaim voice, presence, and agency, inverting the inherited mythology that reduced female figures to objects of seduction or erasure.

​

Through myth, the book engages with questions of the female gaze, patriarchy, and historical silencing. It offers an imagined voice where there was none, allowing the siren to sing not as warning, but as authorship.
