  1. Our interview with GreekMythComix about “You Are Odysseus” is out now wherever you enjoy excellent podcasts.

  2. Reading Emily's Wilson's shining-eyed translation of "The Odyssey" (before I see the IMAX movie).

    She writes of "intelligent Penelope." I remember, as a kid, wandering in that private world of the new reader: a vast cloud of unfamiliar words & ideas, with shafts of light illuminating more & more things I came to understand.

    A character in some book or comic was named Penelope. Reader, for several years I pronounced it in my head as "PENNY-lope."
