Watch now | A podcast in which Ancient Greek scholar Jireh Gardo brings context to the controversy over Emily Wilson's recent translation of The Odyssey
This was, hands down, the most thorough and thoughtful critique I’ve heard about the current Odyssey kerfuffle. Thanks to you both for the caliber of your sense-making. This alone was worth the price of subscribing, which I just did.
Thank you for writing this. I felt I was being dragged into the culture wars for simply objecting to her translation choices and approach and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who can cut through the ideological kerfuffle to point out what Wilson did wrong without pushing any right wing agenda. I prefer Peter Green's translations of Homer for University of California Press
