I’m looking for something similar to how Emily Wilson translated the Odyssey, ignoring societal biases and creating something as close as possible to what Homer intended

Specifically, I want something that doesn’t misrepresent the original writing, for example how things about children were changed to be about homosexuality, and how the word “virgin” is nowhere near what the original texts said

    Hey, at least the dinos only killed a few dozen people. That’s a fraction of a drop in the Dead Sea, by comparison.
