✨ All skill levels are welcome; a translation background is not required.

🤓 Fun Fact: When Nolan’s movie came out this summer, the renowned Greek scholar and Odyssey translator, Emily Wilson, had🔥strong words:

❝ It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends, and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political, and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters have convincing motivation for their actions or words.❞ (Source: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n14/emily-wilson/an-uncomplicated-man).
