Erewhon Revisited by Samuel Butler is a satirical sequel to his earlier novel Erewhon, in which the protagonist, Higgs, returns to the fictional land of Erewhon after many years.

Upon his return, he discovers that the Erewhonians have turned his previous visit-and his sudden disappearance-into the foundation of a new religion, with himself worshipped as a divine figure. The novel critiques organized religion, blind faith, and the ways in which myths are constructed around misunderstood events.

It continues Butler's exploration of Victorian society, evolution, and morality through irony and philosophical reflection.
