In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Natalie Kitroeff talks about the “Odyssey” with two writers who have produced some critically acclaimed and widely read modern interpretations of Greek classics: Emily Wilson, the first woman to translate the “Odyssey” from ancient Greek, and Madeline Miller, the author of the best-selling novels “Circe” and “Song of Achilles.” On Today’s Episode: Emily Wilson , a professor, classist, author and translator of the “Odyssey” Madeline Miller , the author of “Circe,” “Song of Achilles” and other books Background Reading: We’ll Help You Find Your Next Gr...
