A professor from the University of Pennsylvania has seen significant success with her translation of "The Odyssey". The scholar, Emily Wilson, had modest expectations for sales of her work. Her life took a dramatic turn when she learned that filmmaker Christopher Nolan was planning a new adaptation of the epic poem.

Further details about the impact of Nolan's project on Wilson's translation are available from the Waco Tribune-Herald, including the surprising number of copies sold this year alone.
