Lovely to find out about ‘Stolen Fragments’ by Roberta Mazza, and that Emily Wilson now has a substack. In its first post, Wilson examines four translations of the Odyssey’s opening. Years ago, I read a Guardian article doing something similar and found Wilson’s translation the most convincing.
The new Pasts Imperfect has Roberta Mazza on the illicit papyri trade. Then, the looting of the National Museum of Sudan, new analysis of Silk Road pigments, Kaos reigns, cuneiform omens, ancient world journals by @yaleclassicslib.bsky.social, & more. pastsimperfect.substack.com/p/pasts-impe…
