I had the book so I just took a picture
(sorry that the quality is bad)
I've been meaning to read the Illiad and the Odyssey for ages but keep putting it off cause I've heard they're hard reads/written kinda complicated. I was just wondering if the version you have is an easier read? What's the writing style like?
I would say it is a slightly easier read than some of the ones I’ve read in the past! Emily Wilson’s are structured into a more poem/verse type story, and since they are newer translations I would say they have the advantage of more so modern language?
These are pictures of the first page of two of my versions of the Odyssey! The first is the Emily Wilson Translation (2018) and the second is Samuel Butler (1900)
And this one is one from the first page of Emily Wilson’s Iliad (2023) (I don’t have another to compare it to sadly)
Overall I greatly enjoy her translations! I’m not done reading her Iliad yet, but so far it is turning out to be really good!!!
Hello Winions!! Some lovely people over on the Epic Discord have conspired to put together a thank you card of sorts for Jorge before the Thunder Saga comes out!!! Just to show our appreciation, and how much we love the work he is doing!
Basically you fill out this little form, and leave a short note for Jay (or just your name)!
(I’m not running this, but let me know if you have any questions, and I can pass them along!)
whoever reblogs this gets a hug from me
it took me so long to realize that the thunder saga was released on July 4, Independence Day, because that’s when ody does become independent. 🥲🥲

did anyone else notice that in Percy Jackson and The Olympian’s episode 6, you can hear Nico? It’s a little easter egg that Rick put there. It took me a while to notice it, but if you listen closely you can hear someone saying ‘Bianca, Bianca,’. He sounds so tiny, and later on at the vr game you see someone with a bow and arrow and a kid with his back turned to us. You can even see Grover visibly react to hearing this, he looks around and can tell when a demigod is around because he’s a satyr. The time stamp is 12:32 seconds, and you can hear it again 20:15 (some people say you can hear a girl saying Nico at 20:17, but I can’t hear it)
I’m not very sorry about that. But hey, Poseidons nice
