The translation In listening to on Audible is specifically Emily Watson’s, as written in 2017. A 2026 NPR Fresh air interview highlighted the differences that make it worthwhile.

The cover of the book says Wilson, the description names someone else, and all the others just say “Homer.” Most laughably, some say 1st edition by Homer. 🤣

I’m sad that Libby doesn’t have this translation in audio and it’s only in Audible. I think listening to Claire Danes reading it would be cool.

The intro is over 2 hrs, and I came close to skimming through it, but it has some really interesting points about interpreting events in a cultural context. So far her voice is good for this.
