just saw that someone is writing a sapphic retelling of the odyssey (ok cool love that energy) but hasn’t read the original odyssey (what the fuck)…
help.
ID: question and response in an interview that is as follows:
Q: Did you read The Odyssey? And if so, when?
A: I read a lot of stories within The Odyssey, because they’re in things like Percy Jackson, and those little books of mythology you get as a kid, but I actually started and finished writing without sitting down and reading the whole thing. I have various translations; there are parts that are very beautiful and readable, but its so long, and written in a ‘prose-y’ way that’s kind of impenetrable /end ID
