Welcome to WINNOW: A Couple's Close Reading of the Iliad and Odyssey. This is the introductory episode of our podcast where we, Owen and Isabella Gemmer, are diving deep into Homer's epic poems. Before we break down each book of the two epics, we first discuss the most popular translations of Homer's work. Which ones are best for first-time Homer readers? Which are we going to read on this journey? Whether you're looking to encounter Homer for the first time or are already a fan, we hope there's something for you along the way. Watch this episode on YouTube! If you're interested in reading along with us, Owen is recording an audiobook of Samuel Butler's translation. Listen here to prepare for the next episode.
