Abstract: Luigi Malerba’s novel Ithaca forever, a rewriting of the second part of the Odyssey, presents what happened in Ithaca after Ulysses’ return from the perspective of the protagonist and his wife in the form of contrasting alternative monologues. Interested in the borderline between truth and lies, in the relationship between reality and fiction, between life and art, the author depicts the recognition of Ulysses by those close to him as a complex game of masks, in which the characters in the foreground assume a role without fully controlling it.

Keywords: epic poem, modern novel, rewriting, Malerba, Homer.
