English classicist Emily Wilson is the first
woman to publish a major translation of
Homers epic poem, and her version has
been widely lauded. The Guardians reviewer
Charlotte Higgins assessed its publication as
being a cultural landmark, one that exposes
centuries of masculinist readings of the
poem and will change our understanding of
the work for ever. But Wilsons translation
is notable for more than this; in her safe
hands, Homers tale of Odysseus 10-year
voyage home after the fall of Troy makes
the most of the approachable and resonant
language of the original, giving the story
a contemporary readability that is sure to
attract a new generation of devotees.
