I recall casually picking up Emily Wilson’s translation of The Iliad in a bookstore once and being instantly stunned by the power of the Ancient Greek that she managed to pack into English. Then came The Odyssey—equally strong. The best part came years later when I saw her remove her jacket, reveal her badass ink, and then—read. If you’re unsure what a tour de force is—watch.
All this fascination with Homer and the Greeks. There is 2024’s The Return (Uberto Pasolini), and then! soon! Coming in 2026, The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan!
