OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolan’s Movie
“I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script,” wrote #EmilyWilson, the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English.

Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"

@txikillana @jon oso oso ondo harilkatuta dago Peneloperen bertsioa: hiruzpalau gako oso interesgarri planteatzen ditu eta era berean oso umoretsua da. Ezin dizuet ezer gehiago esan bukaera zapuztu barik, irakurtzea gomendatzen dizuet. #Odisea #Penelopiad
