Finished Listening to…: The Odyssey by Homer 📚
Claire Danes did a great job narrating. Once I got past the first few hours of introduction, which were very informative, the book flew. Emily Wilson’s translation was very accessible and fun to listen to. If you are interested in listening to The Odyssey, too, I recommend this version. Going to watch the movie next.
“Wilson’s language is fresh, unpretentious and lean…It is rare to find a translation that is at once so effortlessly easy to read and so rigorously considered.” —Madeline Miller, author of Circe
