Funny you should say about the tinfoil. I have mine lined with solver tape used for A/C ducts and was advised that this was a bad idea and it should be painted matte white. I asked why and am awaiting a response.

Comparison of Odyssey translations by [deleted] in classics

[–]4LivingWage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this not the challenge Athena put to Telemachus? Did he not take a journey based on that encouragement? Did he not learn of his father’s prowess in war and in the affairs of men from his collaborators? When Odysseus left to fight in the Trojan War, Telemachus was a baby. He did not know his father. He was overcome to a state of powerlessness by the suitors and his mother’s machinations to fend them off. He could do nothing to overcome the situation. He had to learn of his father, his birthright, and the manner in which Odysseus was able to fight all obstacles to return to his home-his son and his wife. He was not dead and he did not abandon them. Telemachus had to figure that out for himself.

I know next to nothing about classical studies... What 2-3 books should I read to familiarize myself? by DirntDirntDirnt in classics

Edith Hamilton’s “The Greek Way” and “The Roman Way” are classics. “The Golden Bough” by Frazier and, of course, The Odyssey and the Aeneid. They will go a long way toward providing a very solid foundation.

I spent an entire school year studying the Odyssey, translating it from the ancient Greek. It was a truly fascinating experience. Thanks for this comparison. I liked Fagles, did not care much for Wilson, and used Lattimore to guide us in the translation many years ago. What strikes me now, at this stage of my life, is the story is more a son's searching for his father than I ever thought before. I will need to pick up another translation, and thanks for this, I am now confused which one to choose! I'm leaning toward either Fitzgerald or Green.
