“When people can no longer live in their homes, where can they go? Do we have a duty to welcome immigrants? Do asylum seekers have a right to gain refuge, … How do we decide who belongs where? Who owns the land? Who gets to choose?”

I somehow ended up on Twitter defending Emily Wilson’s translation of the Iliad and Odyssey, and I certainly didn’t anticipate defending a classic book. 😂 #Odyssey #EmilyWilson

For all you lovers of #Homer and #AncientGreek, a wonderful podcast by @leschepod.bsky.social in which #EmilyWilson shares details of how she translated the #Iliad. I love that she talks about one of my favourite Greek words, κόλπος (kolpos). 😊 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/l...

Wow. #emilywilson is pretty stupid. I'm ashamed she lives in California! And yes, you ARE a "crazy right winger."

Why this bitch got so pressed when Dean used the N-word when he was young and then she was also pressed when he told her to stop using gay slur, I don't understand MAGA people. Most of the time when people speak she just doesn't listen too and always talks over ppl. #emilywilson #deanwithers #thehoe

Finished: as I read The Iliad
—we ALL read The Iliad.
That was fun. Violent, but fun.

“My friends, be men, and place inside your hearts
respect and reverence for one another,
no matter how intense the fighting gets.
Those who respect and care for one another
are usually not killed. They may survive.

“...Then Zeus,
the son of Cronus, roused a dreadful din.
From the high heaven he sent down thick drops
of gushing blood, because it was his will
to send so many living men to Hades.”

Paperback edition of Homer’s The Iliad in Emily Wilson’s translation and a cup of coffee on an orange table
I’m very ignorant when it comes to the Classics – haven’t read Ovid or Virgil, don’t like The Odyssey much – but I do *love* #TheIliad. Second reading, this time in the #EmilyWilson translation. Thinking of reading a prose translation next time… 📚

“If we can remember anything of the past, it is through words and stories: the laments of women, and the tales of poets. Words enable the sharing of grief, when there is no other comfort to be found.”

“Servings at the cosmic banquet are never fair [...]
In the apportionment of more nebulous prizes, like social status, success, and days of life, nobody gets everything they want. Most people get nothing at all. Their servings come only from the jar of pain.”
