classicists, name a few translators of the Odyssey who produced a more sexist text than the original Homer?
-
-
no idea, its clear the media knows nothing.
-
i wondered if Hobbes who translated it in 17th c, Butler in 19th C were examples...

Emily Wilson, the translator of the Odyssey, is indeed on Twitter:
@EmilyRCWilson -
so do you know the answer to my question, as a classucist?
-
I think that it is probably the case that some of the older translators do actually render the text more sexist than the Greek demands, but I couldn't be more specific as it's not something I've specifically looked into.
-
no problem, i was.
-
incidentally i have only read the Penguin classics translation and the Butler one...
