Defended Emily Wilson

As a Classicist, I’ve Defended Emily Wilson’s <em>Odyssey</em> Translation. I Can’t Defend Her Review of Nolan’s Movie.

A classicist wrote an article defending Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's Odyssey. The same writer says they cannot defend Wilson's review of Christopher Nolan's new film adaptation of the Odyssey. Wilson's review gave only faint praise, saying the film is a good way to escape the heat and that her teenagers liked it. The writer argues that such faint praise amounts to a quiet criticism of the film.
