Summary

IT'S FINALLY TIME! Liv talks about writing her Odyssey retelling, reads from it, and answers a listener question about translation and retelling.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.

Sources: The Odyssey, translations by Emily Wilson, Richard Lattimore, AT Murray, and Ian Johnston.
