Fresh Air · ‘Odyssey’ translator Emily Wilson: Nolan should've hired a screenwriter · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

So with my new translation of the Odyssey, I'm redoing the whole thing to match the approach of my Iliad.

I'm prioritizing many of the same things as I do in my existing Odyssey translation, metricality, multivocality, the directness, the emotional impact, all of that.

But I also am using more lines, therefore longer words sometimes.

And that also means that I can do more with the repetitions of the original.

And I'm also going to have much, much longer end notes.

I'm having so much fun, yes.

I'm over halfway through and I never want it to end.

Thank you so much.
