Homer trans. by Emily Wilson - The Odyssey

It’s been years since I read The Odyssey and never this new translation by Emily Wilson – author of Circe, which I chewed through a few summers ago. There’s the movie now, which I haven’t seen yet but came up in conversation with a friend. We’re both Joyce fans, and he informed me that Ulysses actually follows the text of the Odyssey section-by-section, and that they can be read together.

That seemed like a good excuse to finally pull Emily Wilson’s new translation off the shelf – and also finally read Ulysses!

I’ve decided to diary my confusion and delight here section-by-section.

Section 1

Athena visits Ulysses’ son and suggests that he murder his mother’s suitors and then head to Athens. They flirt and promise to take a bath together later.

Buck Mulligan visits Stephen Daedelus at his mother’s funeral wake (I think?) and suggests he go to Athens. They go skinny dipping.

Suitors swapped for grievers? An abandoned wife for a dead one? Plus, god Athena for godlike medical student Buck Mulligan?

How direct is the connection between these two narratives?
