Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey<\/em> is about to surf the wine-dark sea into theaters everywhere, and between its star-studded cast and ecstatic early reviews, it\u2019s likely to be a blockbuster. So if you\u2019ve never read the 2800 year old poem on which it\u2019s based \u2014 or you skimmed it in the 10th grade and haven\u2019t thought about it since \u2014 is this the time for you to finally read it?<\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s a strong argument to be made that the answer is yes, because The Odyssey<\/em> is an absolute blast to read. It\u2019s funny, gripping, and sexy, an epic adventure with a human heart. If you\u2019re willing to deal with the fundamental strangeness that comes with reading a text so old, you\u2019ll come away from The Odyssey<\/em> with a new understanding of how and why the West tells its stories.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

How The Odyssey<\/em> invented the asshole trickster hero<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The genius of The Odyssey<\/em> is that it\u2019s both a family story and an adventure. Clever Odysseus is trying to make his way back to his wife and kid after 10 years at war, but at every turn, he\u2019s beset by angry gods, jealous nymphs, or world-shaking storms. What we see of Odysseus\u2019s home life is tender and sweet, and the voyage is thrilling, but Odysseus is the real secret weapon here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Odysseus is one of those guys who\u2019s super smart but, unfortunately, knows it, so as soon as he\u2019s talked his way out of one jam, he can\u2019t help but talk himself right into another. He defeats a Cyclops by using the admittedly very funny gambit of giving his name as No Man, so that the Cyclops\u2019s pained shrieks of \u201cNo Man is killing me!\u201d fail to summon any of his fellow one-eyed monsters to his aid. But, then, Odysseus is arrogant enough to yell his real name at the fiend he just maimed so he can get proper credit for his feat \u2014 and is shocked that doing so comes back to haunt him. It\u2019s hard not to root for Odysseus to get home, but you also have to admit that he bears a lot of responsibility for his own problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That storytelling tool \u2014 someone clever and charming enough to get out of every sticky situation but hubristic enough to keep making it worse for themselves, too \u2014 is so satisfying to read that it birthed an archetype. You see Odysseus in Ferris Bueller, in Bugs Bunny, in Don Draper, in Marty Mauser. Trickster heroes who infuriate allies and antagonists alike all owe a debt to Odysseus, who showed the West what a powerful narrative engine such figures are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Just as powerful is Odysseus\u2019 quest to find his way home, which is so human and relatable that it\u2019s become the basis for many of our go-to adventure stories. Dorothy wants to get back to Kansas, Robinson Crusoe wants to get back to England, and even E.T. wants to phone home. Who hasn\u2019t felt at one time or another like though they\u2019re stranded in a big scary world and longed to find a way back to the safety and comfort of their family? The Odyssey<\/em> is the earliest story we have that put that feeling into words and blew it up larger than life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That\u2019s the thing about The Odyssey<\/em>: It\u2019s been around so long and is so influential that it\u2019s the source for a lot of story structures. Reading it will help you understand the obvious culprits like Ulysses<\/em> and O Brother Where Art Thou<\/em>, sure \u2014 but it will also unlock a lot of old favorites that you wouldn\u2019t have thought could connect so neatly to the ancients and make you experience them in new ways. If you care about storytelling, that\u2019s an experience worth having.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Reasons to skip The Odyssey<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

If you decide to read The Odyssey<\/em>, and you aren\u2019t used to dealing with ancient texts, you have to go in knowing that it\u2019s going to be a weird experience. This is an oral poem, first composed in a dead language, likely developed by a lot of different people over generations, that\u2019s now been translated into modern written English. It\u2019s structured around repetitions, like the famously recurring phrases \u201cwine-dark sea\u201d and \u201crosy-fingered dawn\u201d to help bards deliver the poem from memory. It can be confusing and even boring to navigate if you\u2019re not prepared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Odyssey<\/em> is also a story from an ancient culture with its own moral system. Greek heroes love a little unprovoked murder and theft, and Odysseus is always bragging about the cities he\u2019s conquered and all the treasure he stole from them. Almost all the characters, even the ones we are supposed to admire, behave in misogynistic and deplorable ways. That can be jarring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If any of these oddities are a deal breaker for you, it\u2019s fine to leave The Odyssey<\/em> alone. But if you\u2019re willing to put in the work to look past them, The Odyssey<\/em> will reward you for it. As alien as its source culture is to us, the story it tells is so gripping, and funny, and human that we keep raiding it, Odysseus-like, looking for new tropes.<\/p>\n

\n

How to pick an Odyssey<\/em> translation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

There are a lot of different English translations of The Odyssey<\/em> on the market, and the experience of reading each one is different \u2014 and will affect your perception of the text and the core story. Here are the four I would recommend for four highly specific circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If you like your classics accessible and self-aware<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Emily Wilson\u2019s 2017 edition, which generated a ton of buzz when it came out, is the first English translation of The Odyssey<\/em> written by a woman. Her language is plain, terse, and unadorned \u2014 at times winkingly ironic, at times severe, always refreshingly direct and to the point. What\u2019s most impressive is her ability to make plain the misogyny of the characters without asking the reader to be a misogynist along with them. \u201cEarlier translators are not as uncomfortable with the text as I am,\u201d she told Vox in 2017, \u201cand I like that I\u2019m uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read the first line:<\/em> \u201cTell me about a complicated man.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If you like your poetry lyrical and sensual<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Robert Fitzgerald\u2019s 1961 translation has some of the most ravishing language of all the Odyssey<\/em> translations. Every translator has to choose what to prioritize and what to discard. Fitzgerald prioritizes the beauty of his own words, and he doesn\u2019t care too much about being faithful to the ancient Greek. He\u2019s also not fond of footnotes and extra material to tell you about historical details you might miss. If you want your Odyssey<\/em> translation to read like a poem that stands completely on its own, Fitzgerald is your best bet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read the first line:<\/em> \u201cSing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story of that man skilled in all ways of contending, that wanderer, harried for years on end, after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If you\u2019d like your translation to be as accurate as possible<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Richmond Lattimore\u2019s 1965 translation is a favorite among academics, because Lattimore tried to stay as close as possible to the original Greek. While Fitzgerald and Wilson write in English-friendly blank verse (unrhymed lines of five-beat iambic pentameter), Lattimore uses a six-beat line that echoes Homeric rhythms. Given a choice between making a sentence sound beautiful in English and capturing the nuances of the original Greek, he opts for faithfulness every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read the first line:<\/em> \u201cTell me, Muse, of the man of many ways, who was driven far journeys, after he had sacked Troy\u2019s secret citadel.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If you\u2019d rather listen to the audiobook<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The best audiobook edition of The Odyssey<\/em> is the one Ian McKellan narrates using Robert Fagles\u2019s 1996 translation. Fagles tries to walk the line between Lattimore\u2019s accuracy and Fitzgerald\u2019s poetry, and he manages nicely. But the best way to experience his version of the story is to have McKellan\u2019s rich, rolling voice read it out for you and bring this poem back into the oral tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Read the first line:<\/em> \u201cSing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy.\u201d (Or, just listen.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Whichever translation you choose, it will immerse you in Odysseus\u2019s strange, ancient, but very human world. It will show you some of the source code for Western storytelling. And it will give you a chance to experience a wise-ass beat up a one-eyed monster and, then, ruin his own life by bragging about it. What more could a person ask for from one book?<\/p>\n
