Likewise. 2000 years ago in Roman Britain I am certain many people did it and some of them would have been women.

- Franciscouzo 9y agoI am doubtful they would have translated it into English, because it didn't even exist.
- barry-cotter 9y agoThe Anglo-Saxons didn’t arrive in Britain until the 400s so nothing resembling English was spoken before then. This is very likely the first complete translation into English of the Odyssey by a woman.
- emodendroket 9y agoBesides the fact that nobody spoke English at the time, you think a lot of women literate in both Greek and Latin were running around Roman Britain?
- gaius 9y agoActually, yes. Learn some history.
- emodendroket 9y agoI find it hard to find any support for your claim that ancient Roman women would have generally been literate in Greek. Why don't you enlighten me if it's so obvious? Am I being lectured to "learn some history" by a guy claiming a translation into English might have happened before any Angles arrived in Britain?
