Emily Wilson Called Odysseus Problematic — And Nolan Built His Entire Film on Her Translation [PbKUs7nvXWg]
Emily Wilson has stated on record — in interviews and in the preface of her own translation — that Odysseus, the hero of the poem, is "problematic." Matt Walsh describes her as a disappointed 26-year-old gender studies grad scrolling through posts she doesn't like. The New Yorker reported that Wilson chose the word "complicated" for her opening line, hoping also to convey the sense of "problematic." The moment Christopher Nolan saw that, Walsh argues, he should have ensured she had nothing to do with his film. Instead he built his entire adaptation on her translation.
