Overview

Though at least two worlds have scorned the literature of the infamous, ancient Ornian writer JP Homer, it has not prevented his works from being read by both adult and youth alike with surprise and appreciation for the lunatic wit. Like the epic poem The Thesoddy, the play Erik Miteus represents a mythic tale about an Ornian sailing hero. The brave warrior Erik, after being lost at sea for thirty years, returns to his home and family lost in a fantasy world, opening him to the evil machinations of an enemy who falsely blames him for the death of a loved one. Talking cows and pigs, mistaken identity, garlic addiction, and an imaginary hamster provide the fodder for this farsical rhyming play that combines elements of Greek mythology with the classic Don Quixote. Whether it is seen as the lunatic product of a silly mind or a profound parody of classic literary forms, there is hilarity in the confusions of Erik the Mighty, laughter at the verbal gymnastics, and cringing at the puns and wordplay. Rumored to be the tale that Shakespeare declined, Erik Miteus will find a home in the hearts and imaginations, and funny bones, of the readers.
