  1. Reading Emily Wilson's fresh translation of "The Odyssey": wild surprises on every page.

    Odysseus spends at least the whole first half crying. The best adjective a guy can get is "tall." Everybody's moisturizing with olive oil.

    And this from King Alcinous of Phaeacia (an island regarded as one of literature's first descriptions of a utopia):

    "We love the feast, the lyre, dancing and varied clothes, hot baths and bed."

    Same, godlike Alcinous. Same.
