Dorothea Schmidt Wender was born in 1934 in Ohio and graduated from Radcliffe College, and then went to the University of Minnesota and Harvard University. She has been Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Classics at Wheaton College, Massachusetts. Her publications include book reviews and scholarly articles.
Dorothea Wender has done it again. A fabulously argued piece of scholarship that has depth, breadth and an appropriate amount of snark. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Having just finished Emily Wilson’s Odyssey translation, I have to say my thoughts of this Homeric epic work have improved a bit. Well done.
