>writes best translation in your path
>>24944917Feminizing the canon, I'm so here for it
Her translation is actually goated
>>24944927ok im sold
Better than Lattimores?
>>24944917Why is it that women are such shitty poets and such incredible translators? And vice versa, most men cannot translate worth a damn. It's uncanny how the skill doesn't seem to translate between the genres.
>prose translation
>>24944917Why are writers stupid enough to smoke tobacco? You think those retards would have read a book saying it causes cancer. Holy fuck writers are retarded.
>>24945021>Why is it that women are such shitty poetsEdna St Vincent Millay?
>>24944927Reads like a shittier version of Lattimore.
>>24945752Doesn't read anything like him and it's a lot more literal, e.g. "prey" instead of "delicate feasting"
>>24945021>most men cannot translate worth a damnwtf are you talking about
>>24944917Looks like Alexander Trocchi
>>24945782That's what makes it a shittier version.
>>24945347Bro, everyone born before 1980 smoked. Besides, pipe smoking, when not done excessively is one of those little pleasures that are bad for the body but good for the soul. I don't want to read work from someone who doesn't have at least something like that in their life
>>24946178Go to Philly and have a crackhead write a book then.
>>24946176I don't really feel like Lattimore's embellishments add anything, especially since he is mainly consulted for fidelity
>>24946178If you must smoke, cannabis seems preferable to tobacco, because at least it's not inherently carcinogenic on top of being inhaled as smoke (chewing tobacco also causes cancer).
