Notes from Chapternal · 3

  • Progress

    Book I is ready to hear

    The muse, Olympus, then Ithaca. Every voice was chosen by ear before it was recorded. The names are Samuel Butler's English throughout.

    Books I–IV: the Telemachy

    Books I–IV as a series: the hall, the assembly, Pylos, and Menelaus.

    Why Minerva, not Athena

    Minerva, Ulysses, Jove: this recording follows Samuel Butler's English translation of 1900, Roman names and all.
