Emily Wilson Begins New Translation of Homer's 'The Odyssey' Nearly Ten Years Later
Emily Wilson, the first woman to translate Homer's 'The Odyssey' into English, is working on a new, complete translation nearly a decade after her acclaimed 2017 version. The new edition, already halfway done, aims to better capture the poem's diverse social worlds and will be longer than the original. Wilson's 2017 translation inspired filmmaker Christopher Nolan, though she has criticized his adaptation for lacking depth. The forthcoming translation will be published by WW Norton.
