did you even bother to check the Greek on Perseus or some other website before sperging here about non-existing problems? Because that's pretty much what the text says, political commentary or not.

>οὐ γὰρ ξείνους οἵδε μάλ᾽ ἀνθρώπους ἀνέχονται,
>οὐδ᾽ ἀγαπαζόμενοι φιλέουσ᾽ ὅς κ᾽ ἄλλοθεν ἔλθῃ.
>νηυσὶ θοῇσιν τοί γε πεποιθότες ὠκείῃσι
>λαῖτμα μέγ᾽ ἐκπερόωσιν, ἐπεί σφισι δῶκ᾽ ἐνοσίχθων:
>τῶν νέες ὠκεῖαι ὡς εἰ πτερὸν ἠὲ νόημα.

Here's an older translation, from Perseus again:

>But turn not thine eyes upon any man nor question any, for the men here endure not stranger-folk, nor do they give kindly welcome to him who comes from another land. They, indeed, trusting in the speed of their swift ships, cross over the great gulf of the sea, for this the Earth-shaker has granted them; and their ships are swift as a bird on the wing or as a thought.

Does this sound so different to your ear to justify yet another fucking thread where you whine about women translating Homer? I also don't like Emily Wilson but you guys need to stop sperging. You can find both the original Greek and free older translations online and yet you pile threads upon threads attacking some imaginary enemy. I understand being born an idiot is difficult, but why do you have to make a spectacle about it?

This translation is the standard in colleges and universities now.
