The fragments (165 lines) and the framework of the 'Nausikaa'-tragedy by Goethe were written during his Italian journey in Sicily in the spring of 1787. There are some scenes of high literary quality in worked our form. The main source of the 'Nausikaa' is Homer, although not only the 'Odyssey' itself but the landscapes in Italy, too, appercipiated as real homeric landscapes. The aniquity and the Greek sujets are no more simple copies of ancient works in the 'Nausikaa' and in other works by Goethe, but they suggest a new form of artistic creation: the nature and human emphasis reflected through the personality of the artist. The figure of Odysseus and that of Nausikaa as 'archetypes' are in several variations in the works by Goethe present; Nausikaa revives in Ottilia of his Novel 'Wahlverwandschaften'.
