Ismene is not in the mood for a therapy session: “I do not wish to experience pain twice, suffering it and then speaking about it again” δὶς γὰρ οὐχὶ βούλομαι πονοῦσά τ’ ἀλγεῖν καὶ λέγουσ’ αὖθις πάλιν (Oedipus at Colonus 363-64).

NEW EPISODE It was a pleasure and honor and really just so much fun to talk to @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social about her Iliad. We touch on her translation process, the feel of the Iliad’s Greek, and one way Homer says “snuggling.” Ps. We’re better on Instagram: @leschepodcast

Have you seen one yet for Greek literature? I'd love to follow that. I think that the Roman literature people (also lovely!) have arrived more quickly.

When Polyneices goes off to his doom in Oedipus at Colonus 1440, Antigone addresses him with the vocative, κάσι. This shorter form of κασίγνητος feels like “bro.” Or “bruh.”
