Nobel Laureate, Sir Derek Alton Walcott is regarded as one of the most famous Caribbean poets and playwrights, as he made a notable effort to enrich the West Indian literature and emphasize the Caribbean identity. Through his powerful tone and vivid imagery he was able to spread the reputation of his works all over the world of English reading audience. The diversity of social and political backgrounds deeply affected Walcott's notions and style, especially, his position at the crossroads between Caribbean, British and American culture. Walcott was also greatly influenced by the classicism of the Old World and Homer's epic poetry, in particular. This influence is evident in many of his works like Omeros and The Odyssey: A Stage Version. Furthermore, the setting of the Caribbean landscape; the sea and the natural scenery of coastal beauty, have also deeply affected his work. In creation of a reversible Aegean, long before writing Omeros, Walcott recurrently refers to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in his early phase of writing. Visioning himself as the Caribbean reflection of Homer, Walcott sets himself in a metapoetic journey through which he tells the story of his native land and the indigenous people. This study aims at surveying the alternation of native metaphors related to the Caribbean setting and the invocation of Homeric elements within the early poetic production of the poet.
