This study aims to explore the historical and contemporary significance of women's roles in translation, particularly in the context of The Odyssey. It seeks to understand the underlying social and cultural dynamics that have shaped these roles, examining the connections between translation, gender, and power dynamics.
Chapter One delves into the multifaceted nature of translation, exploring its historical and cultural significance. It examines the concept of "cultural translation" and how it shapes our understanding of different societies and perspectives. The chapter also explores the impact of ideology on women's roles in translation, analyzing how societal norms have traditionally limited women's opportunities in literary and intellectual pursuits. It examines how women's contributions to translation have often been overlooked and undervalued, highlighting the need for a more nuanced and equitable understanding of their historical contributions.
Chapter Two focuses on the application of Skopos Theory and functional translation to the study of The Odyssey translations. It examines the concept of "equivalence" in translation and how different translators approach the task of conveying the source text's meaning and style. The chapter delves into the specific translation choices made by Emily Wilson and Peter Green, analyzing how their interpretations reflect their perspectives on gender and power dynamics within the epic poem.
