I hope people reading & debating Emily Wilson's review of Nolan's *Odyssey* (open-access here: web.archive.org/web/20260727...) will read it in conjunction w/ Carlos Noreña's essay redefining "the ancient world" (aeon.co/essays/uncov...). Engaging w/ the Humanities in a new way is already possible.
