Odyssey translation notes by Emily WIlson | Staff Selects
Tuesday, 4 August, 2026
Glad to have you listening with us today! I wanted to continue with the discussion on the Odyssey by reading a bit from a translation of The Odyssey by Emily Wilson, but first for anyone unfamiar; There has been some interesting online discourse over The Odyssey about translation choices and such, which made me want to talk about the nature of translations and compare a few. So here we are, and this time with an actual reading! Today we will be reading one of my favorite translations of the Odyssey, with Caitlin as your reader, and reading in a simple plain prose style. Hope you enjoy.We hope you enjoy this sneak peak, and as always if you enjoy the story then we invite you to visit your local library and ask them to reserve it for you!
