Emily Wilson on the wrath of Achilles [91R9ERk52aP]

The incredible Emily Wilson performing her Iliad translation for a crowd of 1,000+ at Pittsburgh’s International Poetry Forum. Halfway through this passage on the wrath of Achilles, Wilson removes her jacket to reveal her famous set of tattoos. One arm is covered in symbols from The Iliad; the other from The Odyssey. In the words of Sony Ton-Aime, her introducer at the event, Dr. Wilson “lives the world she translates.” #emilywilson #homer #iliad #odyssey #translation #ancientpoetry #ancientgreek #literature #humanities #internationalpoetryforum #poetry #englishpoetry #poetrylovers #poetrygram #poetsofinstagram #poetrytok #classics #classicalpoetry #liberalarts #theiliad #achilles #menis #tattoos #greek #patroclus #pittsburgh #pittsburghpoetry #internationalpoetryforum #spokenword #poetrytube #poetsofyoutube International Poetry Forum, 2024.
