In this compilation of selected Twitter threads, Dr Emily Wilson, the first female scholar to translate Homer’s Odyssey, gives insight into the nuances of Greek translation, as well as analyses on a topics such as the portrayal of women in Greek epics.
Notable threads include threads on women in Greek epics, such as “The Simile of the Slave Women”, “Ovid’s Metamorphoses”, “The Sirens”, and “Is the Hanging of the Slave Women “Right”?”; and threads on Greek translation more generally, like “Pacing, Words, and Syllables”, and “The Impossibility of Translating Homer into English”.
