Diachronic trends in Homeric translations

This field of study is part of the more general "Classical Receptions" studies that try to analyse the influence and adaptation of classical texts in modern and contemporary literature, theatre, cinema, and many other artistic fields. While Greek texts have been analysed by scholars for more than two thousand years, research about classical translations is not yet a most renown subject. In recent years this theme has raised a growing interest in the academic community.

In this paper we intend to present a tool we developed for translation studies and diachronically compare various French translations of the Odyssey.
