Rather than situating translation studies as a complementary field or an aspect of classical reception, the \u003ci\u003eCompanion\u003c\/i\u003e offers a systematic framework for adapting and incorporating translation studies fully into classical studies.

In its sections, leading classicists, translation theorists, classical reception scholars, and cultural historians from Europe and North and South America reconfigure questions this research faces today, highlighting methods for an integrated approach. It explores how this integrated perspective responds to key challenges in the study of the epic's reception, emphasizing topics of temporality, gender, agency, community, target-language politics, and material production. A special section also features detailed dialogues with active translators such as Emily Wilson, Stanley Lombardo, and Susanna Braund, who speak extensively and frankly about their work.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a key volume for all students and scholars who want to engage with research reflecting the contemporary agenda in classical reception, translation studies, and the study of epic in its global literary and cultural routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNotes on Contributors xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements xvi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 General Introduction 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRichard H.
