I’m looking for something similar to how Emily Wilson translated the Odyssey, ignoring societal biases and creating something as close as possible to what Homer intended

Specifically, I want something that doesn’t misrepresent the original writing, for example how things about children were changed to be about homosexuality, and how the word “virgin” is nowhere near what the original texts said

    The question is, what are you actually looking for? A bible that confirns what you want to believe or a bible that keeps the original message intact?

    I can give you an answer but you may not accept it.
