Wilson explains the divine politics, including Hera trading three Greek cities to Zeus to ensure Troy's destruction.

THE GORE AND GLORY OF BATTLE Colleague Professor Emily Wilson.

ALEXANDRIA ORIGIN

GRIEF, GAMES, AND ACCEPTANCE Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. After Hector's death, Achilles finds a form of healing through funeral games, which offer a non-lethal model of competition. He even awards Agamemnon a prize without a contest, possibly as a slight. The poem concludes not with victory, but with a "humanitarian pause" for Hector's funeral. Wilson notes the ending focuses on women's lamentations, emphasizing the Iliad's enduring lesson on the struggle to accept human mortality. NUMBER 8 500 AD AMBROSIAN ILIAD. WALL BREACHED.

APHRODITE, PATROCLUS, AND TROPHY WOMEN Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. Wilson examines Aphrodite's intervention on the battlefield and her representation of baser instincts like lust.

NUMBER 3 500 AD ALEXANDRIA AMBROSIAN ILIAD

HOMER'S NARRATIVE CHOICES AND ORAL TRADITION Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. Wilsondiscusses the "Homeric Question," noting that oral stories existed for centuries before the alphabet arrived in the 8th century BCE. She highlights the Iliad's sophisticated narrative structure, which omits famous events like the Apple of Discord and the Trojan Horse to focus intensely on a specific period of the war.

They discuss the historical location of Troy in modern Turkey and the archaeological layers discovered by Schliemann, who wrongly believed he found Agamemnon's mask.

The Author Events Series presents The Aeneid: Translating the Classics with Emily Wilson, Scott McGill, and Susannah Wright Crafted during the reign of Augustus Caesar at the outset of the Roman Empire, Virgil's Aeneid is a tale of thrilling adventure, extreme adversity, doomed romance, fateful battles, and profound loss. Through its stirring account of human struggle, meddling gods, and conflicting destinies, the poem brings to life the triumphs and trials that led to one of the most powerful societies the world has ever known. Unlike its Homeric predecessors, which arose from a long oral tradition, the Aeneid was composed by a singular poetic genius, and it has ever since been celebrated as one of the greatest literary achievements of antiquity. This exciting new edition of the Aeneid, the first collaborative translation of the poem in English, is rendered in unrhymed iambic pentameter, the English meter that corresponds best, in its history and cultural standing, to Virgil's dactylic hexameter. Scott McGill and Susannah Wright achieve an ideal middle ground between readability and elevation, engaging modern readers with fresh, contemporary language in a heart-pounding, propulsive rhythm, while also preserving the epic dignity of the original. The result is a brisk, eminently approachable translation that captures Virgil's sensitive balance between celebrating the Roman Empire and dramatizing its human costs, for victors and vanquished alike. This Aeneid is a poem in English every bit as complex, inviting, and affecting as the Latin original. With a rich and informative introduction from Emily Wilson, maps drawn especially for this volume, a pronunciation glossary, genealogies, extensive notes, and helpful summaries of each book, this gorgeous edition of Rome's founding poem will capture the imaginations and stir the souls of a new generation of readers. Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been named a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome in Renaissance and early modern studies, a MacArthur Fellow, and a Guggenheim Fellow. In addition to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, she has also published translations of Sophocles, Euripides, and Seneca. She lives in Philadelphia. Scott McGill is Deedee McMurtry Professor in Humanities at Rice University. He lives in Houston, Texas. Susannah Wright is an assistant professor of classical studies and Roman history at Rice University. She lives in Houston, Texas.

Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 10/14/2025)

Click here to send me a quick message :) What if pleasure was not just something that feels good, relaxes us, helps us feel connected to something greater but ALSO had potential to be therapeutic - like physiologically?Wait, whatttt? So much of our clinical training - whether in the medical or alternative health fields  - tells us to stay away from pleasure when working with people. And in a way that makes sense.We need to create some containers for safety, consent, comfort, maintaining modesty etc. But the idea that pleasure is almost entirely taboo in the world of healthcare is also a shame.Because we are WHOLE beings, and our pleasure (whether sexual, sensual or just generally feeling good) is a core part of who we are.According to today's guest Dr Emily Wilson, arousal, orgasms and even particular pleasure zones can be medicinal -- like, actually have a healing impact on things like prolapse or ovarian cysts.I am so excited to share this conversation with you!Resources:Free guide: Get started tracking your cycle with FAM Get on the priority list for the Natural Contraception Fall 2025 program!Today's shownotes: Get links to Emily's upcoming retreat & offeringsEpisode 61: Pelvic wisdom & trauma healing w Dr Emily WilsonEpisode 190: Awakening erotic aliveness with ecosensualityIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. This episode of "Art is Awesome" features painter Luis Felipe Chavez, who discusses his journey from a small town in Mexico to exhibiting his work in San Francisco. Emily explores Luis's background, his inspiration from Mexican muralism, and his experience navigating life and art between two countries. The conversation covers his solo exhibition "Intermedial," which juxtaposes places and architecture from Mexico and the United States, reflecting on themes of migration, identity, and cultural overlap. Luis shares personal stories about his artistic development, the impact of winning a drawing contest as a teenager, and the influence of artists like Jose Clemente Orozco. About Artist Luis Felipe Chavez :Luis Felipe Chavez is a queer artist originally from a small town in central-western Mexico. His artistic journey began at the age of fourteen with drawing and painting classes in Guadalajara, Jalisco.From 2015 to 2020, Chavez pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Arts at the University of Guadalajara. Each summer during those years, he traveled to the U.S. to visit his family—spending time working alongside his father and brother in the agricultural fields of Bakersfield, California, and in factories in Phoenix, Arizona.In 2020, amid a global atmosphere of uncertainty and loss, Chavez completed his degree and began developing a new body of work. Later that year, driven by a desire for change despite limited English and lingering fears, he packed a few clothes and some paintings into a suitcase and moved to California.By the end of 2021, Chavez relocated to San Francisco, where he continues to live and work. Working primarily with traditional drawing and painting techniques, his art explores themes of migration, labor, identity, and belonging through a queer, cross-cultural lens.Visit Luis' Website:  LuisFelipeStudio.ComFollow Luis on Instagram: @LuisFelipeStudioMore on Luis' exhibit "INTERMEDIO" at Jonathon Carver Moore CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

In this episode, we feature Emily Wilson speaking as part of Portland Arts & Lectures at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in April 2025.

Here are eight segments focusing on Professor Emily Wilson's work on The Iliad: 1/8. In her translation, The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson addresses the complex question of "Who was Homer?" She explains that for centuries after the Mycenaean collapse, there was no writing in the Greek-speaking world, yet extraordinary oral stories of heroes like Achilles and cities like Troy were developed and retold by performing poets. Writing, borrowed from the Phoenicians, arrived in the 8th century BCE, leading to the monumental written poems like The Iliad and The Odyssey, which are sophisticated responses to this long oral tradition. 1578 JUPITER AND OLYMPIA

2/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad presents a narrative for an audience already deeply familiar with the Trojan War. The poem deliberately avoids the war's traditional beginning (like the Judgment of Paris or Helen's abduction) and its end (the fall of Troy or Achilles's death). Instead, it intensely focuses on a month and a half of "Greeks versus Greeks," offering a sophisticated and often unexpected reshaping of familiar stories, inviting the audience to engage with the narrative with fresh eyes, much like watching a new production of a classic play.

3/8. In The Iliad, Professor Emily Wilson highlights the narrative's sophisticated literary techniques, comparing them to an English novel. The poem expertly navigates between an omniscient narrator and individual characters' points of view, delving into their minds. Wilson also notes the challenges of translating ancient Greek, citing, for example, the existence of three distinct words for "spear," each carrying specific connections that she endeavors to render dynamically into modern English. This intricate storytelling was a hallmark of 7th-century BCE Greek. 1200 TROY

4/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad underscores the powerful, ancient tradition of women's lament, prominently featured in the poem's conclusion. Women like Helen, Hecuba, and Andromache are depicted not only weaving but primarily grieving for the dead and for their own bleak, often enslaved futures. Helen, uniquely, weaves the sufferings of the war and offers commentary on the Greeks, while Hecuba embodies both infinite grief and rage, a rare expression for women in Homeric society. 12TH BCE HITTITE BULL

5/8. After the death of Patroclus, Achilles undergoes a transformation in The Iliad, as translated by Professor Emily Wilson. Initially expressing rage through the violent sacrifice of Trojan youths at Patroclus's funeral pyre, Achilles later organizes funeral games. These games, with prizes for all participants and no deaths over competition, offer a new model for how men's competitiveness could coexist without societal destruction. His act of giving Agamemnon a prize without contest can be read as gracious maturity or a "sick burn".

6/8. Professor Emily Wilson emphasizes the pervasive and often ambiguous role of the gods in The Iliad. They interfere constantly, appearing in various disguises, and hold strong opinions. Though "deathless," gods like Aphrodite and Ares can be wounded and bleed "ichor" rather than blood, revealing their human-like flaws despite divine power. Figures like Hera cleverly outmaneuver Zeus, and Thetis, Achilles's mother, tirelessly advocates for her son, framing much of the poem's plot through her prayers to Zeus.

7/8. Professor Emily Wilson's translation of The Iliad powerfully conveys the vivid and often gory reality of Bronze Age combat. The poem meticulously details how men died, showing the brutality of warfare. A crucial aspect of Homeric battle culture, as highlighted by Wilson, is the understanding that once a warrior is dead, their body and armor must be protected and treated honorably. The desecration of corpses, like Achilles dragging Hector's body, is a profound act of humiliation, intended to further punish the enemy beyond death. 1599 ARMS FOR ACHILLES

8/8. The tragic death of Patroclus is a pivotal moment in The Iliad, rendered intensely by Professor Emily Wilson. Despite Achilles's warning, Patroclus, wearing Achilles's armor, pushes too far and is killed by Hector, with Apollo's intervention. This event unleashes Achilles's terrifying rage, propelling him back into battle in new, divine armor crafted by Hephaestus. Achilles's subsequent, relentless slaughter, even against the river god, is driven by his all-consuming quest to avenge Patroclus, culminating in the brutal confrontation with Hector. 1600 HECTOR

The key to life, Epictetus said, was not to dream for things to be a certain way but to dream for them to be the way they were. To be grateful that you had the fate you had.
