Emily Wilson’s translation of {The Odyssey} breathes new life into the rousing tale of
shipwrecks, monsters and magic. Aside from being the first English translation of the
poem by a female, the text has been praised for a naturalness that brings the ancient
epic into the 21st century ... . Speaking to Jennifer Byrne, Emily elaborates on her approach to translating the second-oldest text in Western literature and why it remains so vital today.
