@JaneWithSocks @theo_nash Exactly. Then they wouldn't be so concerned about any English.

[Jane @JaneWithSocks]

@theo_nash They could learn the greek if they wanted to too

@s_everson @theo_nash I love the Pope translation 😍 ❤️

[Theo Nash @theo_nash]

This is absurd. Wilson’s translation doesn’t replace anything. Old translations are still in print. New translations have been published since. The Greek isn’t going anywhere — which is all you would need, id you actually cared about this half as much as you claim.

Here is the advanced version, for those ambitious readers who want build a relatively complete ancient Greek library.

A couple of comments to guide you. You'll find a list of the title, author and estimate date.

I've grouped the works into 'book' versions that you should able to complete each one in a month.

Hesiod's three main works can be found in one book. The same with Plato's first five dialogues.

I've included part of Plutarch's works focused on the Greeks: Greek Lives and Hellenic Lives. Oxford publishes these with Robin Waterfield translations.

Today we are fighting about puns in the Odyssey, on request.

How Odysseus' turn at "nobody" is a play on πολύμητις ᾿Οδυσσεύς (polumētis Odusseus)

Hearing Homer was prior to reading Homer

The world breathlessley reads a papal encyclical and enters anither week of hotly debating the Odyssey

Yet humanities programs are being closed all over.

#NightThoughtsOfAHomerTranslator, 6: Sound Effects
1/7
I’ve been posting abt challenges in translating certain words (polytropos, polymêtis, etc) as well as how to handle rendering Homer’s epithets. Now I want to talk about something more granular: his use of sound effects...
