frasersimons 's review for:
The Odyssey
by Homer
The Emily Wilson translation is fantastic. It is precise and clear and has excellent flow, something particularly lacking in anything else I’ve read. There are a few interesting choices in words, which made it easier to understand updated, sometimes also a bit strange, sometimes even funny, which I don’t recall any other version I’d read being.
All around excellent. There is a pronunciation key with a glossary of all the names a few maps, notes on every chapter, and an explanation and break down of Wilson’s process. Plus, the hardcover is gorgeous. Love it.
