Translating epic poetry is not as easy as you might think. 😁 A wonderful interview with Daniel Mendelsohn on the nuts & bolts of translating ancient Greek. His new translation of #TheOdyssey is out soon! #Homer #Odyssey #translation @leschepod.bsky.social

I can absolutely attest to this. His delivery was so striking, so unusual, and so polished that I actually wrote to the podcast to make sure that I was hearing was real! It was.
Forgot to post this when it came out! But this is really a special one … If you’ve never heard Prof Diggle in action before, you’re in for a surprise and a treat.

I had a great time talking to brilliant Johanna Hanink about translating the Iliad for her new podcast, Lesche.
NEW EPISODE
It was a pleasure and honor and really just so much fun to talk to @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social about her Iliad.

We touch on her translation process, the feel of the Iliad’s Greek, and one way Homer says “snuggling.”
