Please answer the following question based on your reading of the introduction of the Odyssey and the New York Times article “The First Woman to Translate the Odyssey into English” both due last week (March 3):
In The New York Times article, “The First Woman to Translate the Odyssey into English,” the translator of the Odyssey, Emily Wilson, discusses the complexity of the original word polytropos, that appears in the very first line of the Odyssey, which she decided to translate as complicated. First define the term: what does polytropos mean in the Homeric text? Then list some of the other translations of the word polytropos as appeared in previous translations of the Odyssey and finally explain why Wilson decided to interpret the word as complicated? (Everything is explained in the article.) Write about 300-400 words.
It is imperative we all understand the complexity and the importance of this word as it characterizes Odysseus and gives us a hint about the identity and furtive nature of the main hero of the poem.
Please provide with concrete, specific examples/quotes from article and introduction to illustrate points and induct your reader.
