In The blind person of Quíos, the novelist Antonio Prieto invents Homero's life feeding it with figures and facts from the Ilíada and, especially, from the Odyssey. The story is enriched by the historical knowledge about these great poems, and is framed in a rich mythological context. Beyond this, the novel reaches a transcendent meaning. We discover as narrative engine the Homeric effort to overcome the human fleetingness by means of the writing, thus creating a timeless link with the own longing of our author; this way, the novel offers us a maximum example of what Antonio Prieto termed as mythical fusion.En El ciego de Quíos, el novelista Antonio Prieto inventa la vida de Homero alimentándola con figuras y hechos procedentes de la Ilíada y, sobre todo, de la Odisea. El relato se enriquece con el conocimiento histórico en torno a los dos grandes poemas, y lo enmarca un amplio despliegue mitológico. Más allá, la novela alcanza un significado trascendente. Descubrimos como motor narrativo el esfuerzo homérico por vencer la fugacidad humana mediante la escritura, lo que crea un vínculo atemporal con el propio anhelo de nuestro autor; así, la novela nos ofrece un ejemplo máximo del fenómeno bautizado como fusión mítica por Antonio Prieto
