摘　　要：当代圣卢西亚诗人德里克.沃尔科特的长诗《奥美罗斯》被誉为"加勒比的庄严史诗"。沃尔科特不仅因此作品的"巨大启发性"被授予诺贝尔文学奖,还因在此作品中将《荷马史诗》与加勒比海独特文化背景精妙结合而被评论家们视为加勒比海的荷马。史诗利用地中海和加勒比海的文化资源,借用《荷马史诗》中的人物原型,大胆进行解构,进而创造了加勒比式的人物形象,展现了沃尔科特通过《奥美罗斯》确认和建构加勒比文化身份的尝试。Derek Walcott＇ s book-length poem Omeros has been called ＂majestic Caribbean epos＂ by Swedish Academy. Waleott was not only honored with the Nobel Prize for Literature for his work＇ s ＂great luminosity＂, but also regarded as a ＂Caribbean Homer＂ by the critics for his splendid combination of the Homeric epics with unique Caribbean cultural sources in Omeros. In this work, Waleott exploited cultural sources from the Mediterranean Sea along with the Caribbean, borrowed archetypes from the Homeric epics, subverted the Western canon and created uniquely Caribbean characters. In a word, this work shows how Walcott attempted to build a cultural identity for the Caribbean people.
