Your comment persuaded me that just explaining my prompt methodology is insufficient. With Claude's help, I ran some tests against nine different translations including Peter Green's line-matched translation, the closest method-ma

I love Wilson's work and take it as inspiration. Incidentally, I spotted an error in the first printing of her Odyssey that the publisher acknowledged on twitter and fixed in subsequent printings. I am not a professional, just an obses

The only thing Fable was given was a clean of copy of the ancient Greek. This is not a bastardization of other translations. I appreciate and value the critical feedback in any case (truly). I find that Fagles is very majestic -wonderful, r

I love the poem and wanted a modern translation with annotations and index, etc., to be freely available to anyone who wanted to read it. I had a sense that Fable would do a really good job. I am pleased with how it came out. The review age

If you read a lot of books, particularly older ones, you'll find em dashes in all kinds of writing and used often. It's functional punctuation that once you understand you may even find yourself using it (and then being accused of

I used Claude and Gemini together to build a PowerShell script that makes them debate each other on any topic, for any number of rounds. Once it worked, I had them debate AI consciousness — then had them both analyze the debate afterward. O
