Hey Mastodonians! Emily Wilson has her NEW English translation of 'Homers' Odyssey on sale on Amazon for $4 (today only - buy now!) First woman to translate the work into English, ever! NY times says she has a 'radically contemporary voice.'

And while you are there on Amazon, why not just buy Mary Beard's 'Women and Power.' They even have a bundle deal with Beard and Wilson together.

@tomasino I just got it, I haven't started it yet. Very much looking forward to it! I'm still in the middle of my current long read - 'The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa and Asia - and How it Died,' by Philip Jenkins. I'll let you know when I get to Beard and Wilson. Spouse tells me it is superb, though!
