The Odyssey Discourse Is EmbarrassingWhat Is It?
The YouTube video The Odyssey Discourse Is Embarrassing by the YouTube channel Lady Of The Library:

Description:
The internet has completely lost the plot over The Odyssey.
In this video, I react to the newest Odyssey trailer, the backlash surrounding Emily Wilson’s translation.
And the wave of YouTubers claiming that modern retellings are “woke distortions” of Homer.
The problem? Many of these criticisms fundamentally misunderstand what translation is.
How Classical texts survive, and the long history of adapting Greek myth.
We’re talking about Homer, translation theory, Classics discourse online, mythology adaptation.
And why internet outrage keeps flattening nuanced conversations about ancient literature.

WHO AM I?
Hey there, I’m Cinzia DuBois On this channel, I talk about dark and ancient history, literature, and folklore.
❗️DISCLAIMER
I’m very dyslexic, so I apologize for any mispronunciations that occur when I’m reading scripts for videos.
Additionally, whilst flattered, I’m only a PhD student and not a professional educator.
As such, I would advise against ever citing my videos or using them as an academic resource:
Please instead cite references for papers I list in the description box.
My Thoughts
I am glad that someone with more knowledge et cetera on this topic.
