   The Odyssey by Homer (translated by Emily Wilson)

   A poem... a book... a movie... a podcast... a podcast episode to discuss all these things... and more! In this W5H episode, Luki and I discuss the difference between Robert Fagles and Emily Wilson’s translations of Homer, and the story that has become the basis for all Western Literature.
