Homer's epic Greek poem of 'The Odyssey' has long captured the world's imagination. From its first English translation in 1616 to more modern translations seen in Christopher Nolan's 2026 movie of the same name, this ancient tale of adventure continues to enthrall audiences.
Did you know that it was also part of the Sulu's repertoire of translated European classics? Pacific audiences who read the Samoan 'Sulu' were similarly attuned to this tale of woe and adventure painstakingly translated by the Leulumoega and Malua tutor, Ariu Siō as he travelled to many stationed teaching posts. Enjoy the skill and message imbedded in the texts,.
