‘Odyssey’ translator Emily Wilson says Nolan shouldn’t have written the movie himself

Classicist and translator Emily Wilson published a critical review of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in the London Review of Books. Wilson has loved Greek myths since childhood and has translated both the Iliad and Odyssey. She has tattoos of a spear on one leg and a bow on the other — she says they represent Achilles and Odysseus. Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania via Liveright Publishing
