The Odyssey by Homer and Emily Wilson

The Odyssey by Homer and Emily Wilson

June 29, 2026
0:00 / 0:00

This week the Phools chat Homer's Odyssey, the oldest adventure story ever. Or in western literature. Mac, Evan, and Kyle cover Odysseus's decade-long journey home from the Trojan War — the Cyclops Polyphemus, the witch Circe, the Sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and Penelope, and hunting good will.

They also dig into Emily Wilson's 2017 translation, does Odysseus suck, and whether 24 books of Greek epic holds up!
