Translating epic poetry is not as easy as you might think. 😁 A wonderful interview with Daniel Mendelsohn on the nuts & bolts of translating ancient Greek. His new translation of #TheOdyssey is out soon! #Homer #Odyssey #translation @leschepod.bsky.social

I can absolutely attest to this. His delivery was so striking, so unusual, and so polished that I actually wrote to the podcast to make sure that I was hearing was real! It was.

It was an honor and pleasure to speak with John Ma @nakhthor.bsky.social about his new and magisterial POLIS: A New History of the Ancient Greek City-State from the Early Iron Age to the End of Antiquity.
Have a listen! It’s the perfect Boxing Day soundtrack.

I had a great time talking to brilliant Johanna Hanink about translating the Iliad for her new podcast, Lesche.

It was a pleasure and honor and really just so much fun to talk to @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social about her Iliad.
We touch on her translation process, the feel of the Iliad’s Greek, and one way Homer says “snuggling.”
