The Endless Knot Podcast ep 50: Translating the Odyssey, with Emily Wilson (audio only)
Channel: AlliterativePodcasts
Date: 2018-01-03

We interview Emily Wilson, whose new translation of the Odyssey for Norton was published in November to great acclaim and critical praise. She tells us about some of her choices in the areas of metre, vocabulary, register, and more, and we discuss the very concept of 'choice' in translation, the notion of a 'faithful' translation, the complicated question of heroic women, and 70's blaxpoitation films!
