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

    That sucks. Thanks for the informative answer though. By “accurate” I really just meant preserving the original message as closely as possible. Oh well

    Looking at other comments also, it seems the bible is just an alamgamation of a lot of different texts
