@RaiderLand1923 @PokeTraveling Where is Gary Patterson now? That guy was good.

@PokeTraveling Or going 4-8 against TCU in the Big 12?

Is it Big Boy to go 1-6 against Oklahoma St at home since 2010?

@PokeTraveling Obviously. David wouldn’t exist without Goliath.

@HeartBreakCorb Barack Oburger

I cant see him

@jkbjournalist His ratings are okay among the tiny population still watching tv. They sick when you consider production costs.

Incredibly stupid of CBS to do something like this at a time when the public is gravitating to independent media. Colbert will go independent and all those viewers (and more) will follow.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 I think it’s exactly accurate exactly as I stated. She studied with an interest in ‘troubling’, ‘complicating’, and reimagining.

@hookinemgood @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 Claiming she “didn’t study Greek history with intent to understand the subject” is inaccurate.

This is Emily Wilson, who translated the Odyssey for "modern audience", focusing mainly on the "girl power", deleting the epic novel classicisms. Nolan's Odyssey is based on this (of course) desecration of the myth. It was enough to read the classic version by Homer, nothing to interpret, everything is in there, characters description, places, costumes, dialogues...but they preferred to insult and despise Greek culture and people intelligence.

@AriWasserman @Doc_Texas The over 70 crowd still cares a little.

I really hate to break it to you, but Texas doesn’t think about Arkansas even 1/10th as much as they do A&M.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 Reread my comment. Read her. She is unconvincing. Good for her for playing the game and getting her paper. Most average academics with nothing else in their life to do can manage that. It’s not a high bar.

@hookinemgood @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 False. Wilson is a classicist and professor whose work focused on ancient Greek and Roman literature. Dislike her translation choices all you like but claiming that she never studied Greek history is incorrect.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 Scholars disagree because ideology is the history of the academic world. It’s the history of the Church. It’s the history of philosophy. And yes, unsurprisingly, I dismiss scholarship I find unsatisfactory. That’s how literary study works.

@hookinemgood @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 “Scholars disagree because ideology” is just a lazy way to dismiss scholarship you dislike. Homer has been debated for centuries. That’s how literary study works.

@chriskilroy @AzzurraS4 Obviously, this is my opinion as a reader and former academic, I just don’t buy the motivated reading to make it all gay.

@chriskilroy @AzzurraS4 No, it has been around. It’s just a misread of the things men say in battle. I believe it much less of a stretch to say it is another example of the difficulty men face returning to the world after battle. Not wanting to leave their brothers.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 No, it’s not. The fact that scholars argue doesn’t change what is actually there. Scholars just like to argue and usually for thinly veiled ideological reasons.

@hookinemgood @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 This is proper literary argument buried under absurd certainty. Scholars genuinely debate whether Homer’s language sounded elevated or closer to accessible oral poetry for its audience. Pretending there’s one unquestionable answer is unserious. Ffs.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 Yes, that’s true. Even you could read 5 or 6 faithful translations and get to work. She makes it clear she didn’t study Greek history with intent to understand the subject.

@hookinemgood @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 You’re trolling! “Absolutely anyone could translate the Odyssey” immediately followed by “the hard part is understanding grown men and warriors” is incredible. Apparently years of studying ancient Greek matters less than being male and vibing aggressively enough. Deary me.

@butleriano The claim is based on a misunderstanding of the warrior’s bond. It’s dumb.

Achilles is not bisexual. There is no textual evidence he is attracted to women.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 And that’s without discussing the history. She claimed the diction wouldn’t sound elevated to Homer’s audience. That’s not true. Religious poetry would use elevated diction. She just doesn’t care about the reality of the actual work.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 She has no idea what she’s doing and that’s evident from her own preface and statements. Absolutely anyone could translate the Odyssey. It just takes a little time. K12 kids do parts of it. The hard part is understanding the world of grown men and warriors and faith.

@hamiltonimaging @4thSpoliaOpima @AzzurraS4 She has no business translating an epic poem authored by men, about men and for men. She simply doesn’t know the subject matter.

@4thSpoliaOpima @hookinemgood @AzzurraS4 Acknowledging that older translators sometimes inserted sexist assumptions is not “literally woke.” It’s basic literary scholarship. Translators have debated bias, tone and interpretation for centuries ffs.
