New Odyssey, new episode. @danielmendelsohn.bsky.social

Translating epic poetry is not as easy as you might think. 😁 A wonderful interview with Daniel Mendelsohn on the nuts & bolts of translating ancient Greek. His new translation of #TheOdyssey is out soon! #Homer #Odyssey #translation @leschepod.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/l...

I can absolutely attest to this. His delivery was so striking, so unusual, and so polished that I actually wrote to the podcast to make sure that I was hearing was real! It was.

Forgot to post this when it came out! But this is really a special one … If you’ve never heard Prof Diggle in action before, you’re in for a surprise and a treat. Ps. We really are better on Instagram: www.instagram.com/leschepodcast

@leschepod.bsky.social loved this episode open.spotify.com/episode/3Uyo... and loved LOVED Ferdia Lennon’s superb ‘Glorious Exploits’ - a book about the power of theatre and the power of people!

Heading to the meetings in Philadelphia next week with these ladies in tow…

Joanna Hanink very kindly had me on Lesche (what a great name for a podcast !) to talk about the polis. leschepodcast.buzzsprout.com/2388571/epis...

NEW EPISODE It was an honor and pleasure to speak with John Ma @nakhthor.bsky.social about his new and magisterial POLIS: A New History of the Ancient Greek City-State from the Early Iron Age to the End of Antiquity. Have a listen! It’s the perfect Boxing Day soundtrack. On Insta: @leschepodcast

I had a great time talking to brilliant Johanna Hanink about translating the Iliad for her new podcast, Lesche.

NEW EPISODE It was a pleasure and honor and really just so much fun to talk to @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social about her Iliad. We touch on her translation process, the feel of the Iliad’s Greek, and one way Homer says “snuggling.” Ps. We’re better on Instagram: @leschepodcast
