    <title>Caroline Alexander’s two versions of Book 22 of Homer’s Iliad: interlingual retranslation and intralingual rewriting</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">This article looks at Caroline Alexander’s two versions of Book 22 of Homer’s <em>Iliad</em>, which recounts the death of Hector: the first one as it features in her 2009 work of non-fiction, <em>The War That Killed Achilles</em> (subtitled <em>The True Story of the</em> Iliad) and the second one from her full translation of the <em>Iliad</em>, first published in 2015. Taking into account the generic specificities of the two volumes, respectively a historically informed prose retelling of the Troy story and a free verse translation, I analyse these two versions in their contexts, locating them in the history of translations of Homer into English as well as in the interpretive current that draws parallels between the <em>Iliad</em> and present-day armed conflicts involving US soldiers around the world. In order to gauge the “value” of these retranslations, I ask what the generic switch entails for the translation of Book 22 itself and what the changes in vocabulary between the first and second version can tell us about the read...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Traduction d’extraits de l’œuvre poétique d’Alice Oswald</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="texte">À la suite de la venue d’Alice Oswald au colloque organisé dans le cadre du TRACT en octobre 2023, Jessica Stephens a invité la poétesse britannique à revenir donner deux conférences et animer deux séries d’ateliers d’écriture créative à l’automne 2024 et au printemps 2025. Dans le cadre de cette invitation, elle a proposé à des étudiantes – alors inscrites en doctorat et en Master – de réaliser une traduction collaborative qui a été lue en présence de la poétesse lors de la première conférence. Cette traduction de l’incipit de <em>Memorial</em>, de quelques exemples de comparaisons homériques et de la fin d’Hector figure ici, suivie d’une traduction réalisée par Laetitia Sansonetti. Ce numéro de <em>Palimpsestes</em> portant sur la retraduction des classiques, Sarah Montin et Jessica Stephens ont inclus un poème « Severed Head Floating Downriver » tiré d’un autre recueil, <em>Falling Awake</em>, et traduit par Bastien Goursaud.</p>

    <title>Le beau entre littérature chinoise et philosophie grecque : la traduction du Phèdre de Platon</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Zhu Guangqian (1897-1986), professeur et érudit, traduit des dialogues de Platon dans le cadre de la création de l’enseignement de l’esthétique en Chine. En effet, il voit dans le <em>Phèdre</em> une théorie de la rhétorique, celle-ci étant, à ses yeux et selon la tradition chinoise, l’art d’écrire un beau texte littéraire. Sa traduction reflète des différences fondamentales entre tradition écrite et tradition orale, entre littérature chinoise et philosophie grecque. Cet article se donne pour objectif l’analyse de cette traduction à partir de quelques notions-clés que sont le beau, la rhétorique et la dialectique, ainsi que le travail du logographe. L’examen de la traduction chinoise de ce texte grec est l’occasion de réfléchir au problème de la compréhension et du transfert transculturels.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Traduire-réécrire pour les enfants les épithètes homériques odysséennes : réflexions sur une (im)pertinence linguistique et sémantique</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Cet article traite de la manière dont sont présentées, adaptées et actualisées les épithètes homériques dans les textes à destination des enfants d’une dizaine d’années en France. Sous leurs apparences sclérosées et parfois d’autant plus difficiles à comprendre qu’elles constituent une réalité grammaticale qui n’existe plus, ces syntagmes peuvent être définis de manière imprécise pour les simplifier et les rendre ainsi accessibles aux élèves ; parfois même ils sont passés sous silence. Le contexte de réception particulier en termes d’époque et de nature du lecteur-cible rend possible des réécritures variées d’autant plus pertinentes qu’elles semblent à la fois travailler avec acuité le texte grec tout en regardant vers le monde contemporain.</p>]]></description>

    <title>“always almost”—Rewriting, Translation and Erasure in Alice Oswald’s Poetry</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">A large part of Alice Oswald’s poetry engages with classical Greek myths. <em>Memorial</em> (2011) and <em>Nobody</em> (2019) are both rewritings of—respectively—<em>The Iliad</em> and <em>The Odyssey, </em>while <em>Falling Awake</em> (2016) contains versions of Orpheus’ death and the myth of Tithonus. A trained classicist, Oswald reads the original Greek and her poems are often translations and/or versions of the originals. Yet, her work with the Greek classics is also one of erasure—her poems are concerned with anonymous figures and moments of self-effacement. Their structure is often a radically pared down and fragmented version of the original. They are designed moments of poetic disappearance that paradoxically celebrate the ephemeral while engaging with age-old stories.<br />This paper intends to examine this paradox through the lens of Oswald’s own interest in oral poetry. Its main contention is that Oswald’s engagement with the Classics, and with Homer in particular, is informed by a belief that their poetic strength is der...</p>]]></description>

    <title>Nonnus &#38; Co.: Some aspects of editorial design and translation statements in group and anthology work</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">This article considers book projects that foreground the variance of approaches in rendering classical authors, with an extended discussion on instances of creative classical translation as featured in the “group translation” of <em>The</em> Dionysiaca <em>of Nonnus of Panopolis</em> (eds. Stanley Lombardo and William Levitan, 2022) a segmental, sprawling, intertextually rich work from late antiquity. Beyond recurrent initiatives from publishers and poet-translators involving pairings with ancient texts and voices, the ideas behind certain key anthologies, as discussed in the course of this article, evidence the sizable impact of editorial design on reader reception. Such publications seem to encourage and accommodate a range of creative and idiolectal responses from contributors therein: from intertextual nods to previous translations to wild typographical experiment. The reflective translator statements these books sometimes include, as is the case with the 2022 <em>Dionysiaca</em>, often reveal an autobiog...</p>]]></description>

    <title>On not domesticating Penelope in “the poet’s version”</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">In this article we explore what it means to use the term domestication when it comes to analysing tales of Penelope, from her first appearance in Homer’s <em>Odyssey</em> to the most recent reinterpretations of her voice. Taking as our starting point recent metaphors of domestication formulated in postcolonial translation studies, our article outlines the embedded theme of domesticity and the push and pull of the home in the ancient Greek epic itself, then explores how this dynamic relates to the domesticating effects of translation when Penelope’s story is told in different languages, ancient and modern. We reflect on how an appeal to divergent sonic worlds can provide a degree of “foreignization” in settings of Penelope’s voice: in Ovid’s <em>Heroides</em> 1, and in Margaret Atwood’s turn-of-the-millennium novella<em> The Penelopiad.</em> In wrapping up we glance at the creation of Penelope’s sound world in a new musical setting that has been developed through contemporary practice-based research.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Mythweavers: Narrative Author-ity in Anne Carson’s Norma Jeane Baker of Troy</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">This paper explores Anne Carson’s reimagining of Euripides’s <em>Helen </em>through her interweaving of the mythological heroine’s story with that of Norma Jeane Baker, Marilyn Monroe’s birth name. In collapsing temporal boundaries, Carson draws attention to the timelessness of fictionalizing the self, of a persona. The composite character Norma Jeane Baker of Troy thus becomes an opportunity for Carson to reflect on not only violent acts committed against women, including rape, but also the removal of their agency as storytellers and testifiers of their own pain and loss. Carson’s adaptation of Euripides for a post-#MeToo world unveils that myths are not monolithic, but composed of a polyphonic chorus of versions that altogether enrich and add complexity to the story being told.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Réécrire le corps-objet : la réécriture de l’histoire de Pygmalion d’Ovide (Métamorphoses X, 244-297) dans la nouvelle Galatée de Madeline Miller</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Cet article analyse la réécriture contemporaine du mythe de Pygmalion et Galatée par Madeline Miller dans sa nouvelle <em>Galatea</em> (2022), en la confrontant au récit original d’Ovide dans les <em>Métamorphoses</em> (X, 244-297). À travers une lecture rapprochée des deux textes, il met en lumière la manière dont Miller déplace l’accent du sculpteur vers la statue devenue femme, en faisant de Galatée la narratrice de sa propre histoire. Cette réécriture dévoile la dimension oppressive du désir de Pygmalion et propose une relecture féministe et émancipatrice, où la question du corps féminin et de son appropriation occupe une place centrale. Le dialogue entre Antiquité et modernité montre comment la littérature contemporaine réactive les enjeux philologiques et sociaux des mythes anciens pour interroger nos représentations actuelles de genre, de domination et de liberté.</p>]]></description>

    <title>Wake, Siren: Affects and Metamorphoses of Poetic Rewriting</title>
    <description><![CDATA[
      <p class="resume">Among the profusion of recent mythological retellings, Nina MacLaughlin’s <em>Wake, Siren. Ovid Resung </em>(2019) stands out for its experimentation with voices and registers, and its powerful descriptions of otherwise unspoken rages and sorrows. On the porous boundary between rewriting and translation, the collection is made of thirty monologues that revisit Ovid’s <em>Metamorphoses </em>from the perspectives of its female characters. This article studies <em>Wake, Siren</em> as a work that enacts a renewal of the affective content of Ovid’s poem. Throughout, it offers occasional comparisons with Stephanie McCarter’s feminist translation of the <em>Metamorphoses</em>, as to highlight the particular potential of a poetic rewriting. Working between the lines, Nina MacLaughlin heightens or reveals emotional and poetical potentialities, for instance through her vivid descriptions, through a refusal of euphemism—particularly regarding scenes of sexual violence—, and through her use of lyrical enunciation.</p>]]></description>
