Guys! Athena’s beauty routine finally dropped! source

So here’s what you have to do if you want to have perfect skin while keeping that alpha grindset:

Wash your horses first even if you are caked in blood and dirt

Wash your mighty arms

Don’t use Perfume, rub yourself with manly olive oil only

Don’t do make up, don’t even look into a mirror, you already have a chiseled jaw and flashing eyes

Instead run 120 laps around a racetrack to give your face a natural blush

Comb your hair with a golden comb

Now you’re ready to compete for a golden apple

Assign an aspect of nature to prev

Waves at the beach

Rushing breeze through leaves

A crack of thunder

Flow of a river

The shine of a gem

Dancing embers of a flame

Torrential rain

Slow falling snow

An emerald sea of grass

Austere cliffside

A maze of roots

The endless oceans

I'm sure there are many perfectly valid reasons for which to criticise Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

I'm also convinced that much of the criticism directed at her work online is rooted in misogyny.

Both of these can be true at once.

most-sane-classicist

i feel like the fact that so much of the so-to-speak 'hype' around her translation being because she's a woman is quite annoying, because now any criticism can be labelled as misogyny, which is rather unfair to be honest.

Shame we dont recognise the actually great female translators and all of this 'woman translator' stuff got centred around wilson and wilson only.

enlitment

Labelling *any* criticism as misogyny is unfair, and only serves to stifle the discussion. That, in my view, doesn't mean it's always unfair to point out that some of the criticism directed at Wilson stems from misogynistic bias.

Again, going back to the earlier point about statements a & b both being able be true at once.

For me, it's usually the difference between criticising the work of a female translator (more than fair, any work should be open to criticism) and criticising the work of a female translator with the core arguments being tied to the fact that she is a female translator (here the m-word usually applies imo).

I'm definitely all for uplifting female translators. (Would die for D. L. Sayers). But surely we can celebrate them without the need to tear other women down.

#I do miss the lyrical language of the earlier versions (though I think she's able to explain her stylistic choices quite well)#also interesting debates about the word 'slave'#and 'a complicated man' ofc #emily wilson #the odyssey #tagamemnon #ancient greece #classics #classic literature #odysseus #homer #classics tumblr #Wilson #christopher nolan

our idiotic ancestors used to believe stuff that's not true but luckily we've now figured out all the true things to believe in

If you ever wondered why writing a dissertation/thesis takes so damn long, this has been my day so far.

Me: Okay, I should probably add a paragraph about the contextual late-18th-century understanding of republicanism. Let me read over a key text to make sure I'm being accurate. [downloads a 42-page book chapter] Me: Hmm, okay, on page one of this chapter they're expecting me to know some nuanced things about civic humanism. Better just brush up real quick. [downloads 9-page primer from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Me: Okay, cool, but there's some stuff in here about Machiavelli that I really should read in its annotated source context, because that's what my history guys were working from. [downloads 283-page book on Machiavellian political philosophy with source texts] Me: Oh, for fuck's sake-- [downloads Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics]

having read both E. M. Forster's Maurice and D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover I'm now fully convinced that 'gamekeeper' is a fake job title invented by the wealthy elites to justify local cuties living on their property

forgot to share that I actually get to hold this copy. From 1928, like 30 years before the trial.

Thinking about picking up Sophie Wahnich's In Defence of the Terror. Read Žižek's foreword and I am kind of tempted to invest in it.

I was wondering what's frevblr's view of the book? 👉👈
