[NEW VIDEO] Meet the translator behind Christopher Nolan's Odyssey
Emily Wilson has been vilified and lied about on social media for the last two months. In fact, the last 9 years
She was my former professor of ancient Greek at Penn. So, naturally, I wanted to talk with her about translating the Odyssey and being a public scholar
Our conversation covers the gods and heroes of the Odyssey, as well as topics of slavery, feminism, vegetarianism, and carnivory. We dive into various approaches to poetry and translation and the reception of Greek myth. And of course we touch on the new movie
It's a great conversation, and I hope it humanizes her and debunks many of the lies about her
Watch it now!
