Emily Wilson announces complete retranslation of 'The Odyssey'

Emily Wilson, a classical scholar, is retranslating Homer's 'The Odyssey' after her successful 2017 version sold over a million copies. She aims to correct flaws in her previous translation, such as the overuse of the term 'slave', and create a longer edition that reflects the poem's social contexts. This decision has generated controversy, particularly among educators, as it presents challenges in teaching two recent editions by the same translator.
