Is Emily Wilson's Iliad translation "woke"?
I'm wanting to read The Iliad and Oddsey.
I planned on reading the Emily Wilson translation, however I'm suspect that it may be warped to favor "modern day sensibilities". However, I may be playing into the fearmongering of right wing people.
Regardless, after finding I read a modern Roal Dahl release which had the word "fat" redacted from it, I just don't want to deal with any BS.
Is the Emily Wilson translation true to the source material, or should I stay clear from it?
